With masses of curly hair cascading around her, she holds a comb and mirror in her hands, exuding an air of mystery. As we explore the scene further, we notice another woman gracefully descending a flight of steps on the right. However, chaos ensues as a hapless man tumbles down the same steps behind her. The garden surrounding them is abundant with vibrant flowers and lush greenery, creating an idyllic setting amidst the woods. Amidst this surreal landscape lie three snails crawling along the edge of the pond, adding to its peculiar charm.
