Detailed Description
A standing figure is depicted on a light-colored background, rendered in ink wash. The figure, positioned slightly below the center, has long, dark hair and appears to look downwards. They wear long, flowing robes with dark ink outlines and lighter washes, where the folds of fabric suggest movement. The figure holds a small branch with blossoms in one hand, while the other hand is slightly extended. Bare feet are visible beneath the robes. In the background, faint, rounded hills are depicted with light ink washes. Sparse trees or bushes with small blossoms are visible on either side of the figure and behind the hills, rendered with fine lines and dots. The ground beneath the figure is a flat, light area. In the lower right corner, vertical calligraphic text is present alongside a square red seal impression.
