Two women in long robes stand by a large tree with drooping branches near water
Detailed Description
The image shows two women standing near a large tree beside a body of water, rendered in shades of gray. The upper two-thirds of the image feature a plain, light gray background. On the right side, a dark, gnarled tree trunk rises vertically, with branches extending upwards and to the left. Numerous small, dark leaves or blossoms droop from its branches. To the right of the tree trunk, a woman stands facing left, her body angled slightly away from the viewer. She wears a long, patterned robe with lighter sections, and her hair is styled in an updo. Her head is tilted downwards, and her hands are near her chest. To the left of the tree, a second woman walks towards the left, her body in profile. She wears a dark, long-sleeved robe that flows to her feet. Her hair is also styled in an updo, and she holds a round, light-toned fan in her right hand, which is visible at her side. In the lower left and center, sparse clumps of dark, spiky vegetation grow along a faint, wavy line that suggests a stream or path. The ground around the women and vegetation is a slightly darker gray than the background. A small, dark inscription is visible in the lower right corner, near the base of the tree.
