The theme of the picture is immortality and eternal youth, a mystical faith in the purifying and life-giving force of water. To the source belonging to Venus and Cupid, come elderly women, who are given the transformation; they bathe and emerge from it young and beautiful.
Then the women go to the covered tables, dance and indulge in love pleasures. Men, too, can rejuvenate, having entered into an alliance with them. Cranes, following the tastes of the upper world, limited the topic exclusively to secular aspects.
