In this picture, Kim Hong-do captures a humorous situation created between a group of women washing and cleaning at a laundry in a stream and a wicked gentleman spying on them from behind a rock. The painting uses delightfully simple brushstrokes and colors to depict the folds in the clothes and rocks.
