The image depicts a group of nude people in a landscape. Four nude figures are prominently featured. A reclining figure lies on the left with their head tilted back. To their right, another figure sits and looks right. On the right side, two more figures are positioned. A man bends over, and behind him, a woman sits. A fifth nude figure is on the left. The background features a building on the left with a pitched roof. A fence and additional structures are visible on the right. On the right side, there are large rocks. The image is rendered primarily in black and brown. Lines and shading create depth and texture. The artist's signature is visible in the bottom-right corner.
