This print shows three figures floating above a rocky landscape. The person on top wears a long robe and holds a fan, while the person below them sits naked, reaching up. The third figure kneels beside them, dressed in patterned clothes. The background has wispy clouds and a faint sky. The figures seem to be in mid-air, with no clear ground beneath them. The artist used soft colors and delicate lines to create a dreamy scene. Look up *cross-hatching* next to see how shading works in prints like this.
