The painting portrays three elegant Russian women, each sporting a traditional costume. A young woman stands in the center, wearing a white dress with red and gold accents and her bun braided. A red scarf is draped gracefully around her neck. The older woman to her left is wearing a white dress with blue and silver accents. Her hair is left loose in a braid and she wears a blue scarf around her neck. The third woman to the right looks resolute and is wearing a dark dress with green and gold accents. Her hair is in a loose braid and she has a green scarf around her neck. All three women have their hands clasped together in front of them, their gaze fixed ahead.
When coloring this painting, it would be best to use muted shades to bring out the beauty of each unique figure. The dresses of central figure and the older woman could be painted with variations of shades of white, whereas the dress of the third figure could be colored a light green. Reds and blues could be used for the scarves. To emphasize their expressions, the brows and eyes of each figure can be shaded with a darker color. To create intensity and depth, amber and gold could be used to enhance the look of the central figure, scarves and dresses of the other figures. All the shading should be done using a subtle touch, combined with bright and vibrant touches of color, to make this painting come alive.
