Detailed Description
This horizontal artwork features multiple figures, primarily women and children, against a muted brown background. The scene includes various interactions. In the upper left, a woman with dark hair styled in a bun sits, dressed in a red robe over lighter undergarments, holding a small child on her lap. To her right, another woman with dark hair, wearing a light top and brown skirt, washes a child in a dark, shallow basin. A second child stands nearby, looking into the basin. In the upper right, a small, dark, animal-like form is visible. Below it, a woman with dark hair adorned with a crown-like ornament kneels, wearing a green and brown robe, extending her hand towards a child who kneels in front of her. In the lower left, a woman with dark hair carries a child on her back, facing left. Next to her, another woman with dark hair, dressed in a red and brown robe, holds an infant. In the lower center, a small red object, possibly a ball or toy, rests on the ground. A child crawls towards this object, while another child kneels, looking towards the woman in green. The figures are rendered with soft lines and a palette of muted reds, greens, browns, and whites. Faint red seal marks and a decorative border are visible on the far left and right edges.
