Description

This print appears to show two courtesans battling strong rain and wind to be on time for an appointment, a staff member of their brothel holding a lantern introducing their company leading the way. The two women are wearing head coverings to protect their carefully styled hair and use tie-up coats to protect their expensive clothing from the rain. The angle of the rain and the strong image of the umbrellas make this a particularly eye-catching print.
