About this work

This print shows four people walking outdoors near a temple. Two women in fancy robes and black hats are talking, while a child and another woman follow behind. The background has simple lines for trees and a roof, with light colors and soft shading. The women’s robes have patterns and flowing sleeves, and the child carries a small bag. The scene looks calm, like a quiet day out. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this print in person.
