In this unique composition, five captivating beauties are looking downwards in deep contemplation, focusing on the feeding of a small bird. The artist expressed the theme of people in harmony with nature, painted in a soft, rustic atmosphere with a warm glow suggestive of fond recollections of the past. The work is depicted in his signature style, characterised by a group of demure young damsels wearing traditional garments.
