Two Young Ladies at the Shore

Suzuki Harunobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two young women in traditional Japanese clothing stand near water. The woman on her knees is on the left and wears a green kimono with pink flowers. The woman to her right wears a white and green kimono with orange lining and a floral pattern. She also wears her hair up. A body of water with short waves takes up most of the background. A short wooden fence stands on the left. A grassy hill slopes upward to the right and features a house and trees. The image has a sepia tone.
