This is a painting in the style of grisaille which uses monochromatic tones of warm brown to simulate a bas-relief. Three putti are shown playing with a goat against a background of trees and sky. Such works were often commissioned to use as architectural decorative elements, often above doors. The piece can be beautifully displayed in any setting and would show well over above a cabinet or table as a focal point. Ambient lighting would accentuate the effect of the colors.
