Brief Description
Ten partially draped women by a stream in a lush forest, with a distant castle
Detailed Description
The scene depicts ten women in a verdant, wooded landscape. In the foreground, a narrow stream or pool of dark water runs horizontally across the bottom center. On either side of the stream, women are seated or reclining on grassy banks, some partially draped in colorful fabrics. To the left, a group of five women are clustered. One woman in the lower left, facing right, leans forward with her arm extended towards the water. She is draped in white and dark fabric. Behind her, another woman reclines, looking upwards, covered in green and gold fabric. Further back, two women are partially nude, one with her back to the viewer, the other facing left. To the right, another group of five women are arranged. One woman in the lower right, seen from behind, is draped in red and white fabric. Next to her, a woman reclines, looking towards the left, draped in gold and green. Another woman, mostly nude, stands or sits upright in the center, facing left, with a gold necklace and armbands. She holds a piece of fabric above her head. The women display varied poses; some look towards each other, while others gaze outwards. Their skin tones are fair. The background features dense green foliage and tall trees that frame the scene. In the upper left, a light-colored stone castle with turrets is visible on a distant hill. Beyond the trees in the center background, a lighter sky and distant mountains are visible. The overall color palette features greens, browns, and bright colors in the women's drapery, contrasting with their pale skin.
