It is autumn in Korea and a mother and daughter prepare fabrics for winter, against a landscape with cool grey skies. Against this background, diagonal lines of rain are delineated in silver metallic threads. The mother wears a widow’s white ribbon in her hair and is dressed in a white bolero-style jacket, subtly rendered with rich embossing. While she folds green fabric, her daughter, in the pink bolero, sews a piece of patterned silk. Gold and bronze metallic details can be found on the women’s dresses, giving a richness to Jacoulet’s rendering of the textiles.
