About this work

In this painting, three women in traditional Japanese kimonos are gathered in a room with a red floral carpet. The woman on the left is playing a violin, while the woman on the right is sitting with a fan. The woman in the center is wearing a purple kimono and holding a violin. The room has a large window with a view of a garden with cherry blossom trees and a lake. There are also several other people in the background, some of whom are playing instruments. This painting is reminiscent of the work of Japanese artist Yōshū (Hashimoto) Chikanobu.
