Focus on this artwork and explain the Subject and composition.
The picture depicts a group of partially nude women in moonlight, sitting motionless before a hill bearing two Greco-Roman style buildings. According to the description from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the setting "reveals the painter's admiration of the work of Giorgio de Chirico". The women in the foreground are unashamedly if not threateningly seductive, and in the distance mermaids are working their magic on a lone individual in a bowler hat. The whole composition evokes fantasies of erotic love.
