Detailed Description
A full-length portrait depicts a woman standing against a plain, light tan background. The image features a gold patterned border along its top and bottom edges. The woman is positioned slightly to the left of center, facing left with her head turned to look towards the viewer. She has dark hair styled in a bun at the back of her head, and her face is pale with delicate features, including thin eyebrows, downcast eyes, a small nose, and red lips. She wears a long, dark black kimono with wide sleeves. A striped obi in shades of light blue, pink, and white with thin black lines is tied around her waist. Beneath the black kimono, a white garment with a red trim is visible along the opening and at the bottom hem. The lower half of the black kimono is decorated with several rectangular and irregular-shaped panels, some outlined in gold. These panels contain white calligraphic text or small, indistinct illustrations on a dark background. One panel on her right leg shows a white character that resembles "福". Her left hand holds the front opening of the kimono. Her feet are covered by white footwear with a gold-colored, pointed sole that extends beyond the foot. To the right of the figure, near the bottom, there is a vertical line of dark calligraphic text.
