Visual Summary

Brief Description

A person in an elaborate patterned robe with an ornate bird hair ornament holds a branch of white flowers

Detailed Description

A waist-up portrait depicts a person with a light complexion against a dark, plain background. The person's head is turned slightly to the right, and their gaze is directed forward. Their dark hair is styled in an elaborate updo, adorned with several white flowers and a prominent, dark, bird-like ornament at the top. The face is oval-shaped with delicate features, including small eyes and a subtle smile. The person wears a dark, long-sleeved robe or kimono, heavily patterned with intricate lighter motifs, including floral, geometric, and cloud-like shapes. The left hand, positioned in the lower left quadrant, holds a branch bearing several white, five-petaled flowers and dark leaves. Vertical text is visible on the lower left side of the image, near the hand. Visible surface cracking appears on the face and other areas of the painting.
