Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical, black and white depiction of a single standing figure against a plain background. The figure, positioned slightly to the right of the vertical center, faces towards the left with their head tilted sharply upwards, appearing to gaze towards the top of the composition. Their mouth is open, and their eyes are narrow. The figure wears a long, flowing garment, possibly a kimono, with wide sleeves. The main part of the garment is a lighter tone, while the collar and inner lining appear darker. A dark, patterned obi or sash is tied around the waist, with a section extending outwards to the left. The figure's hair is dark and styled in an elaborate updo. In their right hand, extended forward, they hold a partially open folding fan, which has a dark handle and a lighter, possibly patterned, surface. The lower part of the garment flows around the feet, which are not distinctly visible. The background is a uniform medium gray, with some faint horizontal lines and small, dark specks visible across its surface.
