Two women, one standing and one seated, on a scroll with decorative borders
A vertical scroll painting depicts two women against a plain, light brown background. The central panel is framed by decorative borders. The side borders are cream-colored with black bamboo stalks, green leaves, and scattered orange and yellow floral designs. The top and bottom borders are dark purple with a repeating geometric pattern. To the left, a woman stands, leaning slightly forward and facing right. She wears a long, flowing green kimono with red trim along the edges and a wide, light pink sash tied around her waist. Her dark hair is styled in an elaborate bun adorned with a red ornament. She holds a dark, thin object, possibly a comb, near her head. To the right and slightly below, another woman is seated on the ground, facing left and looking up at the standing woman. She wears a dark kimono, possibly black or deep blue, with a prominent peacock feather pattern in shades of blue and green on the lower half. Her inner garment is red with a white geometric pattern. Her dark hair is also styled in an elaborate bun. Next to her on the ground are a dark, gourd-shaped object and a small, rectangular box with red edges. A circular red seal mark is visible to the right of the seated woman.
