This woman is walking with a bright red umbrella, holding a red flower in one hand and a parasol in the other. Her dress is striped blue and white, with a long orange-yellow skirt that flows behind her. A little girl in a yellow dress and red hat stands nearby, holding a red pail. The scene looks lively and colorful, with bold lines and flat colors. The artist used a technique called lithography, which lets them print strong colors and patterns. The way the woman’s skirt moves makes the whole image feel dynamic. Next, check out lithography to see how this printing method works.
