Detailed Description
The image is a vertical scroll painting featuring a single figure, a woman, positioned slightly to the right of the center, walking from left to right. Her head is tilted down and to her left, with long, dark, wavy hair flowing around her face and shoulders, partially covered by a dark, hood-like garment. She wears a dark green outer kimono with a lighter green, possibly patterned, inner layer visible at her right sleeve. Her left hand holds up the front of her kimono, revealing an underskirt. This underskirt features a red fabric with a white floral pattern and a blue fabric with white polka dots. Her feet, wearing light-colored sandals, are visible beneath the raised skirt. Behind and above the woman, a gnarled tree trunk with several branches extends from the lower right towards the upper left. Green foliage and clusters of light-colored, hanging flowers, resembling wisteria, are sparsely distributed along the branches. The background is a plain, warm brown color. To the left of the woman's waist, there is a vertical column of dark, handwritten characters that read "月夜の七". The painting is framed by a light beige border with a repeating floral or vine pattern, and a narrower gold-colored border at the very top and bottom.
