Detailed Description
A woman walks through a snowy landscape. She is positioned slightly to the right of center, facing left with her head tilted down. Her skin is pale, and her dark hair is styled in an elaborate bun. She wears a grey kimono with a subtle checkered pattern, its wide sleeves and hem revealing a vibrant red lining patterned with white geometric stars and a black lining with a grey interlocking pattern. Her left hand holds the front of her kimono, while her right hand holds a large, open umbrella over her head. The umbrella is dark blue with broad gold stripes, both surfaces speckled with white dots, indicating falling snow. She wears black wooden sandals on her feet, which are partially obscured by the snow on the ground. The background is a muted grey, filled with numerous small white dots indicating a heavy snowfall. To the right and behind the woman, several trees or bushes are visible, their branches heavily laden with white snow. A low, dark fence or railing runs horizontally across the mid-ground behind her. The ground beneath her feet is a light, snow-covered surface. In the lower right corner, vertical lines of black calligraphy read: "一陽斎豊国画". Below this, a red square seal is visible. The image is framed by a dark border with gold floral patterns, and narrower decorative strips with geometric patterns appear at the very top and bottom.
