A Song of Springtime

A red-haired woman in a flowing white dress gathers blue and yellow blossoms in her skirt as she walks through a meadow of daffodils. Blossoming trees, a blue sea and distant hills fill the background, while four partly unclothed children pick flowers nearby.

Una mujer de cabello rojizo, con un vestido blanco y fluido, recoge flores azules y amarillas en la falda mientras camina por un prado de narcisos. Árboles en flor, un mar azul y colinas lejanas llenan el fondo, mientras cuatro niños semidesnudos recogen flores cerca.
