Diana and her Nymphs

An outdoor scene shows several women in flowing classical garments gathered around a central action near the ground, with a male figure partly visible in the background and a dog at the left edge. They are arranged in a loose diagonal, from the yellow-dressed figure on the left, to the pink-and-blue sitter, to the kneeling woman on the right, with a shallow dish and cloth on the ground suggesting a ritual or washing. The palette combines warm yellows and pinks with cool blues and earth tones, and the lighting models the figures with soft highlights against a dark background, reflecting a Baroque, painterly approach and Vermeer’s perhatian to light, texture, and intimate group activity.
