This print shows a person in fancy clothes. They’re wearing a tall hat, a robe with big patterns, and a fan in one hand. The background has flowers and swirls. The colors are soft—lots of light browns and blues. Notice how the robe has tiny lines crisscrossing to make shadows. It’s a way to add depth without dark colors. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create light and shadow.
