About this work

Three women stand in a row. Their faces are flat and plain. Their gowns are bright red, green, and yellow. The painter used tempera on wood. Tempera is egg-based paint that dries fast and stays bright for centuries. The women look stiff. Their hands are hidden in long sleeves. Maybe they were painted to show local costumes or roles in a story. Look for similar flat colors and stiff figures at the Museum of Ethnography.
