The woman in the front is dressed in a long white skirt and a dark top, while the woman in the back wears a light-colored dress. The boat is surrounded by lily pads and white flowers, adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The artist's use of light and shadow creates a sense of depth and dimensionality in the scene. The soft colors and gentle brushstrokes evoke a sense of calmness, drawing the viewer into the peaceful world of the painting. To explore more works like this, visit the National Gallery of Ireland.
