About this work

This print shows two women in a room. One sits on a low platform, holding a fan. The other stands, dressed in a long robe with swirling patterns. A mirror with a decorated frame sits between them. The walls have sliding panels, and a pot rests on a shelf. The standing woman holds a small object in her hand. The artist used bold lines and shading to show the fabric’s folds and the room’s depth.
