About this work

This print shows three women in long robes, each holding something different. The first holds a fan and a scroll, the second carries a basket, and the third rests her hand on a small table. Their outfits are bright—reds, greens, and golds—with delicate patterns. The background is simple, with a few trees and a wave-like border at the top. Notice how the women’s robes flow differently in each scene, almost like they’re in motion. The artist used bold colors and clean lines to show their daily activities. Next, check out cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
