A horizontally oriented oil painting in thick, textured brushwork depicts women with light skin tones in a dark, wooded park. Right of center, figures in luminous gold, pink, and teal gowns gather near a pedestal topped with a statue. One woman sits while others stand, their dresses catching a warm glow against heavy shadows. To the left, a long boat filled with figures drifts on a murky waterway. Dark trees frame the scene.
