Detailed Description
The vertical scroll painting depicts a woman standing on a wooden platform against a plain, light brown background. The woman is positioned slightly to the left of the center, facing towards the left with her head gently tilted downwards. Her long, black hair is pulled back, adorned with a small red ornament near the top. Her face is pale with delicate features, including small eyes, a slender nose, and red lips. She wears a light gray kimono patterned with dark gray, stylized floral motifs resembling chrysanthemums. A red collar is visible beneath the kimono, and a wide, light yellow sash is tied around her waist. Her right hand, held near her chest, grasps a small, red, elongated object. Her left hand holds a piece of white fabric that drapes over her arm. Her bare feet are visible beneath the hem of her kimono, with red footwear or socks covering the lower part of her feet. In the lower right portion of the painting, a wooden platform or bridge extends diagonally from the right edge towards the lower left. It features a green, bamboo-like railing. Behind this railing, on the right side, a dark, shallow basin rests on a low, dark wooden stand. Vertical script in black ink is present in the lower right corner, followed by a red square seal. The script reads: "萬洋を以て". The red seal contains the characters "萬洋". The entire artwork is framed by a light green border adorned with small, repeating floral patterns.
