Monet included the artist Gustave Courbet in the painting.

The painting in its whole depicts twelve people. They are clothed in Parisian fashion of the time. They are having a picnic near a forest glade. The people are gathered around a white picnic blanket, where food as fruits, cake or wine is located. The mood in this natural space is primarily created by the play of light and shadow, which originates by deciduous tree above them.
