On the right, Essie Nickerson and Emma Hutchins lounge on their stomachs while chatting. Next to them, Eleanor Ringgold sits in the water while sipping a drink and holding an inner tube and beach ball. On the shore behind them, a young girl stands holding a towel. Umbrellas and a carousel sit further back on the shore.
