This painting belongs to a series of monochromatic ink and watercolour paintings inspired by the Sumi-e Japanese technique the artist employed in the last phase of his life. These compositions were stripped to the bare minimum where only a few strokes of ink were employed to create natural forms in an effortless approach. The above painting depicts three women as they carry pitchers, walking through the rural landscape. The artist has executed the subject with a range of strokes and tonal variations capturing the rhythm and pattern in the image.
