This painting shows three women in a bright, patterned courtyard. One woman stands holding a tray, while the other two sit on a raised platform, one looking at a mirror and the other holding a fan. The buildings around them have arched windows with small decorations, and the ground is green with scattered red flowers. The women’s clothes are colorful—green, red, and yellow—with gold jewelry. The walls behind them have simple designs, like vases and flowers, painted in flat colors. This style comes from the Baroque movement.
