This is a painting depicting figures that appear to be nymphs or spirits in flowing garments and graceful poses. Some are emerging from the sea on the left, standing on large seashells and holding pink ribbons or cloths in the air, while others are dancing on the shore to the right or sitting in a patch of green surrounded by flowers, wearing orange garments. The people all have pale pink skin. Large white swans swim on the water and more white birds are flying overhead. Small purple flowers line the bottom of the painting, and large trees curve up the left and right side with green and pale yellow leaves. The background is a pale blue color, with areas of yellow light.
