Brief Description
A horizontal drawing of several figures, mostly women and a child, in various poses and groupings
Detailed Description
This horizontal drawing features a series of figures, predominantly women, arranged across a light, unadorned background. The drawing features delicate line work with sparse applications of color, primarily muted greens, reds, and black. From the left, a woman is seated in an ornate, high-backed chair, facing right. A small, dark-colored animal, possibly a cat or dog, rests on the floor near her feet. To her right, another woman stands, holding a small bowl over a larger, shallow basin. Next, a third woman stands, facing away from the viewer, holding a round, fan-like object with a patterned surface. Further to the right, a woman is depicted bending forward, as if bowing or attending to something low. Beside her, another woman stands, holding a small child. The child is seen from the front, while the woman holding the child faces slightly left. Moving right, a woman is seated on a low stool, with her back to the viewer, displaying an elaborate hairstyle and a garment with a floral pattern in green and black. Finally, on the far right, two figures are seated at a low, rectangular table, possibly engaged in a board game, with one figure seen from the back and the other from the front. A third figure stands behind them, observing the figures at the table. The figures are dressed in flowing robes, with some details like sashes and hair ornaments highlighted with color.
