The scene depicts an elegant outdoor dining area situated within the portico or courtyard of a grand neoclassical palazzo. The location is the Mandarin Oriental Milan, at Via Andegari, 9, Milan, Italy. Two substantial, light brown and grey speckled granite-like columns frame the foreground. The right foreground column partially obscures a tall, cylindrical outdoor patio heater constructed of brushed metal, with visible gas flames burning within its transparent, vertically-slatted enclosure. To the left, several large, open, square-shaped cream-colored canvas umbrellas provide cover for an outdoor seating arrangement, beneath which a few dark-framed chairs and a wicker chair are partially visible. The paved ground features a pattern of stone tiles. In the midground, numerous neatly trimmed green spherical topiary shrubs are arranged in rectangular grey planters. Further back on the right, a slender tree is adorned with string lights. The background reveals the multi-story facade of a neoclassical building, characterized by repetitive classical columns, balustraded balconies, and large windows, with arched porticoes visible on its lower level. The sky above is overcast, and no individuals are present in the scene.
