Et In Arcadia Ego

An idyllic summer scene: A sleeping woman reclines between two trees, a straw hat covering her knees and her double circling her form.

Again and again, the two ghostly figures (in fact the same woman) flit past, apparently looking for something or examining their surroundings closely, without ever meeting.
