This painting depicts a group of people, mostly women, standing or sitting in a loose circle. They're all naked, and their bodies are simplified into basic shapes. The figures are drawn in blue, with some orange and yellow accents. The artist has used bold lines and simple forms to create a sense of movement and energy. The figures seem to be interacting with each other, but their faces are not clearly defined. The use of bold lines and simple forms is reminiscent of the technique of impasto, where paint is applied thickly to create a textured surface.
