About this work

This print shows three people in a garden. A woman in black stands holding a fan, her back to us. Another woman in red and green kneels at a low table, writing or painting. A man in dark clothes crouches nearby, holding a bowl. Trees and a fence fill the background, with a few birds flying around. The woman’s red robe has bold black patterns, and her hair is styled neatly under a hat. The scene looks calm, like a quiet moment in a park.
