Detailed Description
The image is a vertical scroll painting featuring a single figure. A woman kneels on a patterned cushion in the lower section of the scroll, facing slightly to the left with her head turned towards the viewer. She wears a teal-blue kimono adorned with white circular floral motifs, and a red and white striped collar is visible at her neck. Her dark hair is styled upwards, secured with a gold ornament. Her hands are clasped together near her chest, holding a dark, flat object. The cushion she kneels on is dark green with a subtle patterned border and a darker, possibly purple or brown, inner pattern. The background behind the woman is a plain, light beige. To the right of the woman, on the beige background, there is vertical black text and two square red seals stacked vertically. The entire central image area is framed by two decorative borders. The inner border is a narrow strip of light beige with a delicate gold leaf pattern. The outer border is wider, teal-blue, featuring a repeating geometric pattern in a darker blue and gold floral motifs.
