About this work

A group of naked people stands and lounges in a wooded scene. Some hold cloths or musical instruments. One person is raising an arm, another sits on the ground, and a few in the back seem to be playing or singing. Trees frame the scene, with a distant view of hills and a town in the background. Notice how the light hits the figures differently—some parts are bright, while others stay dark. This makes the scene feel three-dimensional. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting technique works.
