Forest landscape with bathing children

In a high forest formed by old deciduous trees, three young girls are bathing at a bath or pond. One of them is sitting on the ground, a second is standing and about to put on her shirt, the third is kneeling and looking around for a herdsman who is emerging from a clearing at the back left. A fence runs across this clearing. Clothes are laid down behind the girl. At the right edge of the picture a trunk of an old tree as a repoussoir.
