What the image shows
Three figures are depicted in a scene where one woman is holding a small object while another looks on. The setting appears to be indoors, with a table and some objects on it. The image is monochromatic, suggesting it might be a print or drawing.

The authoritative record is held by Getty Museum. LinkedCulture surfaces this object and its connections; it does not alter institutional metadata.
