Detailed Description
A vertical image features a light brown background framed by decorative golden-brown borders. In the lower center, a woman with long, dark hair flowing down her back and over her shoulders is depicted. She wears elaborate, flowing robes, primarily green with subtle blue patterns, and a visible red undergarment. Her left arm is bent, with her hand near her face, while her right arm extends downwards. Her body is angled, suggesting a moment of movement. At her feet, to the right, is a small, white, four-legged animal with a long, flowing tail, possibly a cat or fox. In the lower right corner, faint vertical characters of text and a red seal are visible.
