Her right arm is bent at chest high, holding a bouquet of green and rose flowers, and the left is crossed with the groom's. To the right, in the center of the composition, the groom is standing facing forward, his head turned 3/4 to the right. He wears a straw hat, wears a white suit, white shirt with red polka dots, red bow tie and white shoes. The left arm is along the body and the right is supporting the bride's. Both have delimited facial features: round face, big eyes, nose represented by a triangle and closed thick lips. On the floor, a few scattered pebbles, and three small hills lined up in back perspective can be seen. Slightly behind and to the right, two boys outlined: one back facing, 3/4 facing the left, with arms and legs spread, wearing white shirt and blue pants; the other is further back wearing white clothing. Close to the horizon, the little church of Saint Anthony. In the sky, a red kite with dots and white tail. Both the gradient blue sky and the earthy ground go lighter until they intersect in the horizon line.
