Detailed Description
A vertical image depicts a woman from behind, looking into a large mirror. She stands with her back mostly to the viewer, her head turned slightly to the right to look into the mirror. Her hair is styled in a dark updo. She wears a loose-fitting, long-sleeved blue garment, possibly a kimono, adorned with scattered floral patterns in white, pink, orange, and green. A patterned sash, primarily dark red and white, is tied around her waist. Her left hand rests on the mirror's dark frame, while her right hand holds a small, light-colored, fan-shaped bag with a gold clasp and a small red and black design. The mirror occupies the central and right portion of the canvas, reflecting the woman's face and upper torso. Her reflection shows her looking directly into the mirror with a neutral expression. The reflection also shows the blue garment and a glimpse of a light-colored chair or furniture behind her. The background behind the woman and to the left of the mirror is a deep, muted red or maroon, appearing as a draped fabric or wall. The area to the right of the mirror is darker, almost black, with hints of the same red.
