The painting depicts two groups of nude women: two lying in the foreground and three bathers in the background to the right.

The natural setting displayed in the painting was the large garden of the house owned by the painter in Cagnes-sur-Mer.

The theme of the bather is predominant in the final season of Renoir's paintings: the women portrayed by the painter are free and uninhibited.

These bathers are "melted in the nature and the forms merge with the trees, flowers and the shares of red water".

[2] The painting received criticism because of "the enormousness of the legs and arms, the weakness of flesh, and the pinkish color of the models".
