About this work

This print shows two women in long robes, standing side by side. Their outfits have bright colors—pinks, golds, and blacks—with detailed patterns. One holds a fan, the other a scroll, and both wear tall black shoes. Behind them, pine branches and a few birds add simple background details. The women’s robes are decorated with birds and flowers, a common design in this style. The artist used bold lines and flat colors, which makes the scene feel calm and balanced.
