Detailed Description
The image is a vertical scroll in a warm brown color. A tall, dark, rectangular screen or partition stands vertically in the center. A woman is positioned behind the upper part of the screen, her head and upper torso visible as she looks down and to the left. She has dark hair styled in an elaborate bun with gold-colored ornaments. Her skin is light. She wears a blue garment with a red collar or undergarment visible at her chest. The blue garment has a pattern of white and light green floral or cloud-like motifs. A child is positioned at the bottom of the screen, on the left side, looking up towards the woman. The child has light skin and a shaved head. They wear a red patterned robe with white floral motifs and a blue sash or undergarment with a white pattern. The child's left leg is bent, and their right leg is extended, appearing as if in motion or reaching. Their arms are raised, with the left hand appearing to reach towards the screen or the woman. The woman's blue garment extends around the right side of the screen, flowing downwards. This part of her garment has a dark blue background with a hexagonal pattern containing light green and white floral motifs. The top and bottom edges of the scroll have a narrow border with a repeating pattern of light-colored floral or leaf motifs on a lighter brown background. Faint, dark text is visible on the lower right side of the brown background, near the child's feet.
