Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts three women in traditional Japanese kimonos. Two women stand on the right side; one behind the other. The woman furthest back on the right has a parasol or umbrella tucked under her arm. The woman in the center wears a kimono with a patterned design. She holds a long-handled pail with a rope and a smaller pail. A third woman stands on the left. She wears a simpler kimono. There are several cylindrical pails on the ground. Birds fly in the sky and perch on the ground. A riverbank with trees, grasses, and a building are in the background.
