Oil on canvas painting in a bold, modern style. Two naked figures stand so close to each other that the edges of their bodies are indistinguishable. They are up to their knees in a warm-green pond, surrounded by lily pads, two ducks, and a handful of charming insects (though a few have left bite marks on the figures).
