In this fantasy scene, seven young women play and relax by a pool in the woods. Soft strokes of rainbow color define the painting's composition and move the eye around to delight in the inviting landscape and splash of cool water against the bathers' velvety flesh. The subject matter and bright tones partly emulate 18th-century paintings by François Boucher and Jean-Honoré Fragonard. Albert Barnes's acquisition of this important painting in 1932 stirred substantial excitement from the press.
