Detailed Description
The image features a woman in a black kimono standing slightly left of center, facing right but looking down. Her pale face is framed by dark hair styled up, topped with a small, dark, structured headpiece. She wears a black kimono adorned with gold floral patterns, cinched with a red obi. Layers of white, pink, and purple fabric are visible beneath the kimono, extending to her feet, where she wears white and black geta. Her left hand is partially visible, holding the front of her kimono. The background is a muted, light brown landscape featuring a body of water with stylized white waves on the left and a distant, indistinct horizon. Sparse, dark vegetation or reeds are visible in the foreground and mid-ground. On the right side of the image, near the woman's feet, there is a vertical column of dark text. The central depiction is bordered by decorative elements: a red band with a geometric pattern at the top and bottom, and wider side panels in a light brown or gold hue, featuring hexagonal and floral patterns, some with gold accents and checkered designs.
