Light gouache on a dark ground. Beneath a curtain of hanging stalks and leaves, several women with flower garlands in their hair and around their necks bathe in a pond with water lilies; one sits up on a branch. In the left foreground, the cologne bottle is rendered almost photographically. “BAMBÚ” in rounded letters heads the composition and the handwritten slogan fills the lower part.
