The scene features a foreground of colorful flowerbeds and manicured hedges leading the eye toward a central fountain and the historic structures of the Audubon Zoo. Named after naturalist John James Audubon, the park's scenic beauty and its world-class zoo have been a focal point for local recreation and tourism since the late 19th century.
