A scroll painting shows a woman in a light blue kimono and orange obi, standing against a plain background with calligraphy.
Detailed Description
The artwork is a vertical scroll, featuring a central rectangular panel framed by decorative borders. The central panel has a light tan or golden-brown background. Dominating the lower half of this panel is a full-length depiction of a woman, positioned slightly to the right of the vertical center. She faces towards the right, with her head gently tilted downwards. Her dark hair is styled upwards and adorned with a small gold ornament. Her face is pale, with delicate features, dark eyebrows, and a small mouth. She wears a light blue kimono, which features a subtle, repeating white floral or geometric pattern. A bright orange obi is tied around her waist. Beneath the kimono, layers of red and gold fabric are visible. Only the very bottom edge of white footwear is visible at her feet. In the upper left portion of the tan background, several vertical lines of black calligraphy are present. In the lower right, a small red square seal with black characters is visible. The central panel is bordered by a narrow strip of light, patterned fabric, which is then surrounded by a wider, dark blue border adorned with a repeating gold floral and vine motif.
