This painting shows three women, possibly sisters, with long hair and flowing dresses, standing together in a river. The women are looking up and to the right, with their arms outstretched. The background is a soft, muted color, with the river flowing behind them. The painting has a dreamy, ethereal quality to it. The women's faces are serene and peaceful, and their bodies seem to be swaying gently in the water. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility.
