Domenico Pecchio was born in Casaleone in 1687 and trained in Verona under Antonio Balestra, who praised his manner in a 1733 letter to Gabburri. Active almost exclusively in Verona, he became one of the leading Veronese landscape painters of the eighteenth century, developing an Arcadian idiom indebted to Marco Ricci, Francesco Zuccarelli and Giuseppe Zais, and collaborated with Giambettino Cignaroli and Marco Marcola on the fresco decoration of Palazzo Carli.

The present painting, attributed to Domenico Pecchio, depicts a gallant garden conversation set among a terracotta vase, a statue on a pedestal and a fountain. The female figures, dressed in the fashion of the second quarter of the eighteenth century and shown exchanging flowers, reflect the Arcadian taste and compositional grace typical of Venetian figurative culture of the period.
