Here Anna Ancher has painted a young woman and a little girl, probably two of the Saxild daughters, who lived right next door, and whom both Michael and Anna often used as models, in the lush green garden of Ancher's house. Anna Ancher rarely painted actual landscapes, but often used the garden to depict the play of sunlight in colours and surfaces.
