Marc Chagall, Daphnis and Chloé: The Summer Season, 1961

A scene by the shore of a large body of water. There is a figure in the water and a female nude figure standing on the shore with hands covering her nether region. There is a tree with a figure sitting at the top playing a wind instrument. In the sky we see a bright sun reflected in the body of water as well as two floating figures reclining and cuddled up together.
