A scroll painting of a bowing woman in layered robes, with black calligraphy in the upper right
Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting features a single female figure on a plain background, framed by decorative borders. The woman is positioned slightly below the center, leaning forward and to the left, with her head bowed and eyes cast downwards. Her dark hair is styled in an elaborate updo. She wears multiple layers of flowing robes. The innermost layer visible is a vibrant red, forming a wide, flowing skirt. Over this, she wears a light blue robe with white and darker blue trim, patterned with subtle designs. An outer, lighter-colored robe, possibly cream or pale yellow, is draped over her shoulders and arms, with hints of pink or light purple in its folds. Small red butterfly-like shapes are visible on the cream layer near her waist. In the upper right quadrant, several lines of black calligraphy are written vertically. The central panel of the scroll is a plain, warm tan or light brown color. It is bordered on the top, bottom, and sides by a narrow band of red and white vertical stripes. Outside this, a wider border of dark blue fabric with an intricate gold floral and cloud-like pattern frames the entire artwork.
