Note: The composition must be imagined as unravelling scene by scene. An aristocratic couple progresses on foot through parkland rich in monuments, temples and follies. Arriving by coach, the man and woman descend at the edge of a river and take a ferry across the water, passing two ancient columns. On the opposite bank is a wooded path, from which elegant company watches a richly decorated barge making its way along the river. More groups of people appear beyond this bend, at the foot of a hillock surmounted by a round temple. Beyond this is a pyramid set in trees, in front of which more gentlefolk stroll along the lawns, while some gentlemen appear on horseback along a roadway riding towards an obelisk. The tour concludes before a moated, two-storied country house, to the right of which is a road on which a carriage with two footmen riding postilion (and presumably with the aristocratic couple within) disappears into the distance. Unlike some of the other surviving "rouleaux transparents" it is a complete "narrative" and not a fragment.
