About this work

This painting shows three stylized figures in bright, flat colors. The person on the left is bent over, holding something in their hands. The middle figure is large, seated, and seems to be holding a fan or umbrella. The person on the right stands tall, holding a long object like a spear. The colors are mostly reds, yellows, and browns, with bold black outlines. The figures look simplified, almost like cut-out shapes. The background has a patterned border with red dots.
