This print shows two women indoors. One sits on a low table, holding a hand mirror and combing her hair. The other kneels behind her, adjusting her clothing. Both wear loose robes and hairstyles with pins. A small stool and a folded cloth lie nearby. Notice how the artist used soft ink lines and light color to create gentle shadows. The scene feels calm and private. Look up technique: cross-hatching next to see how artists build texture with lines.
