Detailed Description
A single figure is seated on a rectangular mat against a plain, light brown background. The figure, positioned slightly to the left of center and occupying the lower half of the image, is shown in a three-quarter view, facing towards the right. They have long, dark hair pulled back, and a pale complexion. The person wears a multi-layered kimono; the outermost layer is a light brown or gold color with a subtle pattern of small, scattered floral or geometric motifs in darker tones. Beneath this, a white garment is visible at the neck and chest. The figure's left hand holds an open, white fan with dark ribs, while their right hand rests on their lap. They are seated on a rectangular mat with a red center, bordered by green and a darker blue-gray. To the right of the figure, a long, thin object resembling a sword or dagger with a light-colored blade and dark handle is visible, resting horizontally. Behind this, a red, somewhat abstract object with a curved form and a dark base is present. A fluffy, light brown fur-like object is also visible near the figure's right side. In the upper left portion of the image, dark vertical calligraphy reads: "枝 ちりぬるを わがみよに ふるながめせしまに 瑞光". Below this text, a red rectangular seal is visible. In the lower right corner, near the edge of the mat, the character "瑞光" is written, accompanied by a red square seal. The entire image is framed by a dark blue border with a repeating gold geometric pattern.
