This painting shows two women in colorful robes on what looks like a balcony. One woman stands, holding a fan and fixing her hair, while the other sits below, dressed in a dark, patterned outfit. Behind them, a paper lantern hangs from the ceiling, and a screen or folding door is visible in the background. The artist used bold outlines and flat colors, which is typical for this style. The women’s robes have intricate patterns, and the setting feels calm and quiet. If you like this, look up The Cleveland Museum of Art to see more works like it.
