About this work

This lithograph shows three women in long dresses and big hats walking on a city street. The background blurs into soft, cloudy shapes. They look like they’re floating. The artist used just five colors to make the whole scene. That keeps the focus on the women’s shapes and how they move. Look up lithography to see how this printing method works.
