Courtesans at Leisure from the series The Six Immortal Poets
The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print. Three women, likely courtesans, are present. The woman on the left stands, wearing a white kimono with an orange lining and an orange kimono with green and white designs over it; she has a hat on her head. The woman on the right sits cross-legged on the floor, wearing an orange kimono with green and white designs; she holds a scroll. The woman in the middle, partially obscured, sits behind the woman on the right, wearing a green kimono with white designs; she holds a white bird. The women are indoors; there is a window on the right with a view of the outdoors, including birds flying and trees. The room has tatami flooring and shoji screens. The color palette includes orange, green, white, and beige. The overall style suggests an 18th-century Japanese artwork.
