The woman on the far left sits cross-legged on a patterned floor. The other two women are on a raised platform; one sits cross-legged facing the right; the other sits on her knees facing left. A patterned curtain hangs on the left. Two men stand on the floor below the platform facing the women; they wear traditional Japanese clothing and black headwear. The background shows a traditional Japanese room with a wooden floor, blinds, and a tree outside. The scene is titled "Court Ladies Making Dolls" and is by Kubo Shunman. A beige wall with a tree is in the background.
