This painting depicts four nude women in a body of water. The woman on the left has her back turned and her arms extended, while the woman on the right faces away from the viewer. In the center, two women face each other, with one woman's back to the viewer and the other woman's face visible. The water is dark and murky, with only the women's bodies visible above the surface. The background is a dark, muted color, which contrasts with the lighter tones of the women's skin. The overall atmosphere of the painting is one of serenity and contemplation.
