The painting depicts two women in a serene outdoor setting, surrounded by trees and a body of water. The woman on the left wears a hat and a white robe, while the woman on the right is topless, with a white cloth draped over her lower body. The scene is tranquil, with the women engaged in a quiet activity near a fountain. The atmosphere is peaceful, with the natural surroundings creating a sense of calm. This painting is reminiscent of the works of Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, a French artist known for his dreamlike and idyllic scenes.
