Description

Two young women recline in a grassy meadow dotted with yellow dandelions and small pink flowers, one blowing the seeds off a dandelion while the other reaches up toward the drifting seeds. One wears a multicolored patchwork-check kimono with a red obi; the other wears a red and purple bodice with a pink-and-blue striped skirt. A red book lies open on the grass, and a closed pink parasol, a straw hat, and a floral bag rest to the right; the sky above is pale blue with soft white clouds.
