An oil painting shows an older and younger woman in conversation. The image illustrates an old fable using summer as a metaphor for beauty. Summer draws closer to its end, and beauty, along with life, is fleeting. The older woman holds a stick with a bunch of wool or flax from which thread is spun, called a distaff, engaging in conversation with a young woman with golden ears of corn in her hair.
