Rousseau depicts a group of four young women walking through the idyllic countryside. The landscape opens up beyond a path that runs diagonally across the composition. Scattered in a grassy field are a shepherd, his two goats, and four standing figures. In the middle part of the picture, five nuns dressed in their traditional black-and-white garments rest underneath a tent-like structure. A smokestack rises in the far distance, a reminder of industry.
