Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts a single standing woman against a plain, light brown background. The woman is positioned slightly to the left of center, facing left with her head turned to look in the same direction. Her skin is pale, and her facial features are delicately rendered. Her black hair is styled in an elaborate, high coiffure with multiple loops and several thin, light-colored sticks or pins protruding from it. She wears layered robes; the innermost layer is a vibrant red with a repeating white geometric pattern of hexagons and stars. Over this, an olive-green layer with subtle dark patterns is visible, and the outermost robe is a flowing, light beige or cream color, draped loosely around her body and arms. Her right hand is raised near her head, holding a thin, light-colored object. Her left hand holds a folded scroll or piece of fabric against her chest. The robes pool around her feet, creating soft, undulating lines. On the lower left side of the painting, vertical script in black ink is visible, accompanied by a red square seal below it. The top and bottom edges of the scroll feature narrow, light gray decorative borders with subtle patterns.
