The central focus of this painting is an ornate, three-tiered stone fountain overflowing with clear turquoise water. Perched on the various levels of the fountain are several mermaids with colorful tails and hair, blending seamlessly into the stone tiers and cascading water. The atmosphere is surreal and whimsical, suggesting a hidden, magical garden setting.
Surrounding the fountain, a lush, dark green garden filled with dense foliage and tall, stylized trees creates an intimate, enclosed composition. In the foreground, a woman wearing a vibrant yellow mod-style dress stands beside the fountain, holding a small round bag. Nearby, a black-and-white spotted dalmatian stands alert, while a person in a white suit sits on the fountain's stone edge, creating a sense of quiet activity in this dreamlike space. Bright red flowers bloom prominently in the bottom corners, providing a bold splash of contrast.
The artwork is rendered in an impressionistic, painterly style with visible brushstrokes and a soft, slightly nostalgic quality. The colour palette is dominated by deep forest greens, soft pinks in the background, and the brilliant, cool turquoise of the fountain water. Warm light illuminates the figures, casting long, soft shadows across the foreground, which reinforces the peaceful, late-afternoon mood of the scene.
