About this work

This painting shows a scene of two people in traditional Japanese clothing, one sitting on the floor and the other standing behind a low table. The person on the floor is leaning back against a large object, possibly a roof or a wall, and is wearing a robe with a geometric pattern. The standing figure is dressed in a kimono adorned with flowers and is holding a fan. In the background, there are some plants and a few objects that are difficult to make out. The overall mood of the painting is one of tranquility and elegance. The artist's use of bold lines and simple shapes creates a sense of simplicity and clarity, which is characteristic of the Baroque movement.
