The painting shows two young girls sitting on a terrace. They're dressed in pretty clothes and look happy. The scene is set in a quiet spot, away from the city, which was a place the artist liked to visit. The artist often painted people enjoying nature and good company. He liked to show how people lived and had fun in simple ways. You can learn more about the artist's style by looking at the work of Pierre-Auguste Renoir.
