Lin Yuncai

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Two rectangular panels are shown side by side on a white background. The left panel depicts a scene with a green border that has rust-colored spots. The scene shows three women in traditional clothing standing or sitting near a building with a tiled roof and a porch. A short staircase leads to the porch. The women are wearing long robes in shades of pink, blue, and white. A potted plant sits on the porch and another on the ground. The building has a decorative railing and a tree. The right panel has a purple border and a green top trim with rust-colored spots. It features black Chinese calligraphy on a beige background with two small red squares.
