- Description
- The photograph depicts three young Korean women wearing traditional robes and seated outdoors. The women seemingly are two aristocratic women and one attendant; the aristocratic women perhaps are a mother (at the viewer's right) and a daughter (at the left). A roll of cloth occupies the center of the scene; each of the aristocratic women holds a slender wooden club for beating the cloth. Each woman sits on a woven bamboo mat; the bamboo mats rest on a large, coarsely woven mat (of straw?). The women's shoes appear at the front edge of the large mat, nearest the viewer.
