Three women in long robes stand on a wooden bridge. Their clothes are bright—greens, reds, and blacks—with bold patterns. One holds a fan, another leans on the railing, and the third looks ahead. The background is simple, just the bridge and a plain wall. Notice how the artist used clean lines and flat colors. The women’s robes have simple shapes, but the details—like the fan’s folds or the robes’ stitching—stand out. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
