About this work

This print shows three women in bright, patterned robes standing in different settings. The first panel has a rainbow over a misty river and trees. The second woman holds a fan near an open door with a garden outside. The third scene is indoors, with a group of people and a red sign on the wall. Notice how the colors pop against the soft backgrounds—like the purple dress or the rainbow’s glow. The artist mixed bold details with dreamy skies.
