Location

A horizontally oriented oil painting depicts a wooded terrain of browns and greens under a vast, deep blue sky. Muted orange nude figures are scattered across the hazy landscape. On the left, a figure stands with raised arms over a reclining companion. Centrally, another figure sits near a distant body of water. To the right, a large figure strides toward a child while white birds rest nearby. Soft brushstrokes unify this expansive and dreamlike scene.
