A vertically oriented oil painting with thick, blurred brushwork depicts six people with light skin tones in a dense, reddish-brown forest. Centrally, a woman in a white gown faces our right. Beside her, a figure in pink leans forward while a small winged child stands nearby. A woman in a red dress stands behind, another sits in the foreground, and a faint figure stands in the hazy background. Dappled light permeates the scene.
