The Gossips

Suzuki Harunobu's The Gossips depicts two women sitting on a veranda. The woman on the left sits cross-legged wearing a kimono with a green obi; her dark hair is styled in a bun on top of her head. She holds a round fan in her left hand. The woman on the right sits on her knees, wearing a kimono with a floral pattern. Her dark hair is also styled in a bun on top of her head. She holds her right arm up to her face. A red basket sits on the veranda to the right and a red tray with two containers sits on the veranda to the left. A window and sliding door are behind them. The veranda overlooks a yard with grasses, plants, and rocks. Several fireflies float in the air.
