This painting depicts three women and a young girl standing together, dressed in traditional Japanese attire. The woman in the center is wearing a black kimono with a plaid pattern, while the woman on the right is wearing a gray kimono with a floral pattern. The young girl is wearing a pink kimono with a floral pattern and is holding a fan. The background of the painting features a wall with Japanese writing and leaves. The painting is done in a style that is reminiscent of traditional Japanese art, with bold lines and bright colors. The women and the young girl are all facing forward, as if they are posing for a portrait. The Cleveland Museum of Art holds this painting, which is a great example of Japanese art from the Romanticism movement.
