Un estudio libre, de aspecto boceto, muestra a una mujer con un vestido blanco largo que sostiene un ramo de flores rosadas, de pie sobre la hierba junto a un arroyo bajo árboles en flor. A la derecha, una figura arrodillada con una túnica marrón rojiza y un pañuelo en la cabeza junta las manos, mientras dos figuras de túnicas pálidas aparecen en el fondo sombrío.
