Description: Picture of Faith Ringgold's painting For the Women's House (1971) at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, in 2023. A large oil painting divided into eight triangles in a pinwheel shape, each of which depicts a different scene of women of many races living and working. Beginning clockwise at the top right triangle, the scenes depict: a group of women standing in front of several news microphones at a press conference; two women playing basketball, one of whom is wearing a New York Knicks team jersey and reaching to dunk a ball; a policewoman directing pedestrians, including a construction worker; a woman cradling her child with a book in front of them containing quotes by Rosa Parks and Coretta Scott King; a woman playing a hand drum; a woman in a wedding dress standing at the altar with several women relatives behind her; a teacher standing in front of a student reading at a desk; and a woman driving a bus. The figures are all rendered in a hyper realist style in muted tones.
