The photograph was taken from the corner of a gravel path, showing the whole geometric parterre: flowerbeds and low hedges edged in white stone, still very small, thin-trunked young conifers among them, two rows of white benches, and columns topped with urns on pedestals. In the distance, beyond a line of trees, part of the palace roof is visible with its chimneys and small turrets.
This is the same parterre designed by Édouard André and planted in 1896–1899 that we already saw in exhibit No. 16 — only here the photographer stands not at the main approach drive but inside the garden itself, at the corner of the parterre, looking diagonally across the whole flowerbed toward the palace.
The animation colours and brings this old frame to life — the flat grey daytime sky becomes a clouded evening sky, the grass and flowerbeds gain colour, and beyond the trees the palace's red-brick façade emerges, lit by the low evening sun.
