Watson has captured a carefree day by a mountain river. Two girls are playing in the sunshine, while two young women are sitting on large angular boulders in the foreground, all in light summer outfits and sporting fashionable 1920s hairstyles. Beyond the lively stream in the middle-ground, the far bank of the river is visible. Watson has painted the scene in a bold and confident manner, omitting the sky and concentrating on the play of light over the rocks, the water and the relaxed poses of the girls.
