A framed color lithograph by Romare Bearden. The print depicts three women figures, each wearing colorful patterns in a collage-like composition. The three women stand together against a green and tan field beneath the depiction of two blue firebirds above them. A third bird, with red head and a black body, stands at the bottom foreground.
