This painting shows two young girls sitting together in a field. They're wearing long skirts and headscarves, and they seem to be resting or working together. The girls are surrounded by tall grasses and plants, which fill the background of the painting. The artist has used a lot of detail to show the textures of the girls' clothing and the plants around them. You can see the folds in their skirts and the way the light catches the leaves of the plants. This painting is a great example of the Impressionism movement.
