This print features oval shapes against a background of green and blue swirls. The oval shapes contain figures resembling people engaged in different leisure activities. Some ovals have only one person, while others have groups of three or four. The people in the ovals seem to have orange skin and dark hair, and they wear clothing in shades of blue, pink, brown, and yellow. Some appear to read, while others lay on the ground together. Four of the groups seem to have picnic blankets. One has a small white cat with them. Towards the bottom of the print, there is a shape that crosses some of the ovals that looks like a green ripple.
