Detailed Description
A forest scene features several figures amidst dense foliage. In the foreground, a narrow stream flows towards the lower left. On the left bank, a woman with light skin sits, draped in yellow fabric, looking towards the stream. Behind her, another woman in purple fabric stands, pointing her right arm towards the right side of the scene. Two other women are near the stream, one bending over and another partially submerged. In the stream itself, a woman lies on her back, arms raised, with her head and shoulders above the water. The stream is dark brown with reflections of the surrounding trees. The background on the left features dense green foliage and large, light brown rock formations under a pale blue sky with white clouds. On the right side, a tall, slender tree trunk rises vertically, with dark green leaves. Further back on the right, a man with light skin, wearing a blue drape, runs with a spear over his shoulder, accompanied by a white dog. The forest floor is covered in green undergrowth, and large boulders are scattered throughout the midground.
