This print shows three women dressed in bright, flowing robes and tall black hats with gold hair ornaments. The woman in the middle holds a decorated lantern with swirling gold patterns. The background is soft and blurry, with faint floral shapes floating around them. Their faces are calm, and their robes have bold colors—blue, yellow, and white. The artist used simple lines and flat colors to create a sense of movement and elegance. The lantern’s design looks like it could be a clue about their role or status.
