Across the top, blue sky fills the view with large green tree branches stretching diagonally from right to left. In the middle, a blue-green clearing is bordered by darker green foliage. In the foreground from left to right, groups of unclothed adults with peach and tan bodies gather: on the left, two stand beside several reclining figures; at center, a cluster sits and leans together; on the right, a row of figures stand or crouch under a thick tree branch, all larger in scale than the surrounding landscape.
