Detailed Description
This horizontal, black and white artwork depicts a landscape scene with three women in the foreground. On the right, three women are shown wearing kimonos with elaborate, dark hairstyles. The woman on the far right stands facing left, wearing a dark, plain kimono, with her hands positioned near the second woman. The middle woman also faces left, wearing a patterned kimono, and holds a fan in her right hand, appearing to gesture towards the third woman. The third woman, positioned to the left of the group, walks towards the left but turns her head back to look at the other two. She wears a dark kimono and carries a small, dark bag in her left hand. Behind the women and extending across the left two-thirds of the image is a body of water, possibly a lake or river, with gentle ripples. Three birds, appearing to be ducks or geese, swim on the water in the mid-left. The shoreline is dotted with small trees and bushes. In the background, on the far left, a small cluster of buildings with a prominent pine tree sits on a raised landmass. Another small structure is visible on the mid-left shoreline. Several trees with abundant white blossoms arch over the women on the right side of the image. More sparse trees and foliage are visible across the landscape. Faint, small figures can be seen in the distant background under the trees on the right. The sky is light and mostly clear. Vertical text is present on the far right edge of the image, near the bottom.
