'The Pantheon from the Terrace, Luxembourg Gardens' combines different elements in the early titles and serves to differentiate it from similar subjects.

A view across a park to mature trees in full leaf. Beyond the trees are the rooftops and chimneys of buildings and, just to right of centre, the dome and lantern of the Pantheon. There are flowers in the foreground at right. In the middle distance is a border planted with flowers and shrubs, where people are sitting on garden seats looking across a walk to a pond. To left of the pond, people are strolling and sitting on the grass and under the trees.
