In the picture, two men sit on the grass in a green park.
They wear dark jackets and hats. Between them, a woman sits with no clothes on.
She looks directly at the viewer with a calm face. Behind them, another woman
washes herself in a small stream. In the background, a small boat is moored on
the shore of the lake. A basket of fruit and bread is on the ground. The light
is bright, and the scene feels quiet but strange, perhaps because of the calm
attitude of the naked woman and perhaps because of the dark trees.

In the painting, soft clocks are hanging and bending in strange ways. One clock is lying over the branch of a bare tree. Another clock is stretched across a flat block. A third clock is falling over the edge of a table. In the middle, there is a soft shape that looks like a face in a dream, giving the picture a strange feeling. The background shows a calm blue sea and far mountains, making the scene look very quiet but also not real.
