About this work

The painting depicts a woman sitting on a rock, surrounded by several other figures, including children and a man. The woman is nude, with a white cloth draped over her lap. She has dark hair and is looking to her right. The other figures are also nude, with some of them playing with the water. The background of the painting is dark, with some clouds visible in the sky. The painting is done in oil paint, and the colors are muted, with shades of brown and gray dominating the palette. The brushstrokes are visible, giving the painting a textured look. The overall effect is one of calmness and serenity, with the figures seemingly lost in their own thoughts. The painting is held at the National Museum in Kraków.
