Detailed Description
A horizontal painting features a scene divided between a light-colored shore and a body of water, with a hilly landscape in the upper left. The background on the left shows rolling hills in shades of green and brown, dotted with dark green pine trees. The shore, which occupies the lower left and center, is a light tan color. On this shore, two figures are positioned. One figure, wearing a red garment and with long dark hair, is seated or reclining. Another figure, dressed in a light-colored robe, is hunched over the first. A dark, wavy line separates the shore from the blue-grey water that extends across the right half of the painting. Within this water, several figures are visible. Some appear to be partially submerged, with only their heads or upper bodies showing. Towards the far right, one figure with light skin and dark hair is being held or supported by another figure, who wears a light robe and has a bald head with some facial hair. The overall color palette is muted, with blues, greens, browns, and a prominent red garment.
