This print shows three people in a room by the water. Two women stand near a window with a view of ships and trees. One woman wears a striped robe, the other a dark dress with bright patterns. A boy sits on the floor in front of them, holding something small. The women’s robes have detailed stitching that looks like tiny lines packed together. This helps create shadows and texture. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use it to make depth.
