Korea: Two women ironing using a long-handled iron filled with hot coals. Watercolour painting, late Joseon period, 1886.

A typical domestic scene from the late Joseon Dynasty period showing two women dressed in traditional Hanbok clothing, ironing a robe using a long-handled ironing device filled with hot coals. There is a three legged stand for the iron, a basket full clothes waiting to be ironed, and a pile of neatly-ironed clothing beside the women.
