Detailed Description
A vertical painting depicts a standing woman in a white kimono against a light brown background. The woman is positioned slightly left of center, facing forward with her head turned slightly to her right. She has pale skin, dark hair styled in an elaborate bun on top of her head with some strands falling down her back, and small, finely drawn facial features. Her kimono is predominantly white with a pattern of blue iris flowers and green leaves. The sleeves and hem are edged with a red border, and a green sash is visible around her waist. She holds a light brown, woven basket-like object in her left hand, which is partially obscured by her sleeve. Her right hand is also partially hidden within her kimono. To the right of the woman, two tall bamboo stalks extend vertically from the bottom edge of the image, with several dark green bamboo leaves visible. More bamboo leaves are depicted in the upper left quadrant of the background. Various lines of dark, stylized script are scattered across the upper half of the background, both to the left and right of the woman's head. The background has a mottled appearance. A darker brown border frames the painting.
