Five women in elaborate robes within a building featuring patterned screens and a sloped roof
Detailed Description
This black and white illustration depicts an interior scene within a multi-level building, viewed from an elevated perspective. A dark, sloped roof covers the upper left portion of the scene. Below the roof, two women are seated on a light-colored floor. The woman on the left is on a slightly raised platform, leaning back, while the woman on the right sits directly on the floor, holding a round, flat object. Both wear long, patterned robes. Behind them, a wall features a screen with a diagonal grid pattern. In the center, a tall, narrow decorative panel displays a stylized waterfall design at the top and flowering plants with dark blossoms below. To the right of this panel, an upper room contains three additional women, all dressed in elaborate, patterned robes. One woman is seated on a raised platform, holding an open book or scroll. Below her, two other women are seated on the floor. The walls and screens in this upper section also display various geometric and organic patterns. Below this upper room, a lower exterior section shows a small patch of grass-like vegetation on the ground.
