All the windows are closed, and blinds shut. From left to right: a woman stands reading; a woman sits at a table with scrolls on it (both women facing right); Three women in the center panel engaged in - maybe - a conversation: 2 are standing and one sitting in the middle front of them; two women in the third panel face right, the first sitting and reading, the second standing. The women are all wearing red fabric tied to the waist and flowing to their feet.
