This print shows a woman in a flowing robe, holding a scroll and a fan. Her outfit has bold orange and black patterns, and she’s standing on a wooden platform. The background has a simple door and a round fan hanging on the wall. Notice how the light and shadow create strong contrasts on her face and clothes. This effect makes her stand out sharply against the flat background. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* next to see how this technique works.
