An elegant historic room with ornate plasterwork on the ceiling, tall windows draped with gold curtains, and a large decorative mirror between them. A marble fireplace with carved detailing sits on the right wall beneath a framed portrait. The room has plain painted walls and a wide wooden floor.

White snowdrops bloom across a woodland floor covered in fallen leaves, with a group of people standing blurred in the background among tall trees. The focus is on the delicate flowers in the foreground, creating a soft contrast between the sharp details of the snowdrops and the out-of-focus figures behind them.

A stone terrace with a classical statue and ornate urn overlooks a vast, neatly striped lawn. The landscape stretches into the distance with clusters of trees, rolling hills and a pale blue sky with scattered clouds. Provide your feedback on BizChat
