This piece is inspired on the 010.01578 Garden Party, at the same time inspired on the painting "Empress Eugènie [de Montijo] surrounded by her maids of honor" by Franz Xavier Winterhalter. The story takes place in XIX-century Andalusia, where some noble people used to spend their summer holidays. Young noble ladies used to dress their best costumes while they took a walk by the flowery gardens, where they were courted by gentlemen, as a social entertaintment for upper classes. The setting is a gazebo in a neoclassical garden where they could rest in the shade while talking.
