Español: El viaje de la vida: Juventud

Una pequeña barca con una figura de rojo y un compañero se desliza por un río sombreado, bajo palmeras y árboles altísimos. En la orilla derecha, una figura con una túnica blanca y fluida se encuentra junto al agua, mientras un valle boscoso y picos escarpados se elevan en la distancia brumosa.
