About this work

This painting shows four women and a few chickens in a yard. The woman in the foreground stands, wearing a blue dress. The three other women sit on the ground, wearing white and blue dresses. The yard has a few trees, and a building with a thatched roof is in the background. The painting has a lot of colors, like green, blue, and brown. The women are looking at each other, and the chickens are eating on the ground. The painting looks like it was made in a warm place, maybe near a beach.
