At first glance appearing to be a print, this is in fact a painstakingly executed watercolor drawing, likely French I am thinking, measuring 16" by 20 1/2" (23 3/4" by 28" framed).

They are surrounded by a balustrade, fountain, distant trees, and, in the immediate foreground, a border of oversized flowers...
