Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts three figures in elaborate attire against a plain, light beige background. On the left, a tall woman stands, facing slightly right, with her head turned forward. She wears a bright red kimono adorned with gold, green, and brown floral and geometric patterns. Her hair is styled in a high, dark bun with a white ornament, and her skin is pale. She holds a green, patterned object in her left hand. To her right and slightly lower, a second woman kneels, facing left, with her head turned forward. She wears a dark blue or black kimono with intricate blue, white, and gold patterns. Her dark hair is also styled in a bun. Behind and slightly above the kneeling woman, a small child stands, facing left, with their head turned forward. The child wears a black and white patterned kimono and has two small dark buns in their hair, holding a green stick-like object. In the lower right corner, there is vertical text in a dark script and a red rectangular seal. The painting is bordered by a narrow gold patterned strip at the top and bottom, and wider side panels. The side panels feature a light blue-green fabric with large dark blue circular motifs containing gold script, transitioning to a dark blue and white checkered pattern below.
