This print shows two women in a garden. One stands holding a baby, wearing a dark hat and a patterned robe. The other sits on a low stool, holding a fan and a tray with a teapot. Behind them, bare trees and a fence frame a quiet courtyard. The standing woman looks up, as if listening to something off-canvas. The seated woman’s robe has a subtle floral pattern, and her shoes peek out from under her skirt. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
