The image shows four figures and a background of dense foliage. The figures are in motion and appear to interact with each other. They appear to be standing in shallow water. The facial features are lightly sketched and the figures are undressed. One additional figure is seated on the ground to the right. The background consists of trees and leaves depicted in an impressionistic style, with sunlight filtering through.
