DescriptionImage of two red-and-white striped umbrellas, which appear to fly above a backyard swimming pool. A woman with blonde hair wearing a bikini reaches up with her left hand towards the umbrellas while a little girl sits in a round yellow float in the middle of the pool. A young boy wearing swim trunks looks up with binoculars. Yellow leaves are scattered in the green grass around the pool and in the sky. A wooden privacy fence runs along the back of the yard and narrow evergreens are evenly spaced in front of it.Provenance
