1. Medium: Watercolor on paper

2. Shapes and objects: A seaside or coastal garden scene. In the foreground, there's a terrace or garden with flowerbeds and pathways. Several figures are visible: a couple standing near the edge overlooking the sea, and a person sitting in a chair. The background shows a seascape with numerous sailboats and larger ships. The sky is filled with clouds.

3. Colours: Vibrant and varied. The garden is full of greens, reds, and yellows for the plants and flowers. The sea is painted in shades of blue and green. The sky uses blues, greys, and whites for the clouds. The figures are painted in muted tones - browns, whites, and greys.

4. Narrative: This painting captures a moment of leisure and beauty in a coastal setting, likely from the late 19th or early 20th century based on the clothing styles. The contrast between the cultivated garden and the wild sea creates an interesting juxtaposition of human influence and natural power. The figures in the scene suggest different ways of enjoying the view - the couple engaged in conversation while taking in the vista, and the seated figure perhaps lost in contemplation. The busy seascape with multiple boats implies a thriving maritime community. Overall, the painting evokes a sense of refinement, leisure, and appreciation for both natural and cultivated beauty.

5. Original Artist: This painting is strongly reminiscent of the work of Claude Monet, particularly his garden scenes at Sainte-Adresse. The composition, with its high vantage point overlooking a garden and the sea beyond, is very similar to Monet's "Garden at Sainte-Adresse" (1867).

Monet, a founder of French Impressionism, was known for his en plein air (outdoor) paintings that captured the changing effects of light and atmosphere. He often painted scenes of gardens and seascapes, combining natural and cultivated elements.

The original "Garden at Sainte-Adresse" by Monet is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. While Mehrdad Fahimi's painting has its own unique elements, particularly in the use of watercolor and the specific details of the scene, it clearly draws inspiration from Monet's Impressionist style and subject matter. This painting continues the tradition of capturing fleeting moments of beauty in everyday scenes, a hallmark of Impressionism.
