This print shows five stick-like figures standing on a yellow ground against a dark blue background. Two women in the front hold long poles with red circles at the top, like they’re playing a game. The others stand still, watching or waiting. Their faces are simple, almost like masks, with big eyes and no smiles. The artist used a rough, sketchy style—lines are uneven, and the figures look flat. The red circles on the poles stand out against the blue, making them the focus. Next, look up lithography to see how this print was made.
