About this work

This painting shows a woman being carried over the sea by a group of people. She's surrounded by naked children and creatures with fish tails. The woman is wearing a cloth that's blowing in the wind. The people carrying her are strong and have fish tails too. There are also some children flying in the air, holding bows and arrows. The background is dark and cloudy, with some light shining through. The painting is quite old and the colors are not very bright. It looks like it was made a long time ago. The people in the painting are all looking at the woman being carried. They seem to be happy and celebrating.
