Physical Description
A light sketch drawing of a scene full of activity. Towards the center of the piece is a pair of lovers in embrace. All around them are nude figures, identified as children, playing by the water. Some are fishing, others are in a boat, and the remainder are either swimming of reclining by the water's side. Below these figures is a study drawing of a person's profile angled to the left, while above the scene is a more detailed study drawing of a young boy's head.
