This print shows two women in a room with wooden screens and sliding doors. One woman kneels on the floor, holding a fan and looking down. The other stands, wearing a long robe with birds and flowers painted on it, holding a scroll. The standing woman’s sleeve has a small bird embroidered near her wrist. The room looks simple, with a single branch of flowers on the wall behind her. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists create shading with lines.
