The painting depicts two girls standing on a pier, dressed in white dresses and hats. The background features a serene landscape with buildings and trees. A quiet detail in the painting is the way the girls' dresses are rendered in loose, expressive brushstrokes, giving the impression of movement and energy. This technique adds a sense of dynamism to the otherwise calm scene.
