About this work

This painting shows three women dressed in bright red robes with floral patterns on a wooden veranda. One sits on the floor, another leans against a post, and the third stands near a window holding a fan. Outside, trees and a fence line a garden, while inside, curtains and a wooden chest are visible. The women’s robes have bold black-and-white patterns, and their hair is styled neatly. The scene feels calm, with soft colors and simple shapes.
