Detailed Description
A vertical scroll painting depicts a woman seated on a red, low-backed bench, looking down and to her right. She has pale skin and dark hair styled in an elaborate bun, adorned with a gold ornament. She wears a long-sleeved green outer robe with light blue and white trim, over a reddish-brown garment with a white polka-dot pattern. A long, flowing green sash or ribbon hangs from her waist. Her left arm is bent, resting on her lap, while her right arm is mostly obscured. Her legs are bent, with her feet tucked beneath her. To her right, on a similar red, low-backed surface, are several objects, including a dark, helmet-like item, a small green mat, and other indistinct forms. The background is a plain, light tan color. In the upper left quadrant, there is vertical black text with a red seal below it. The central painting is framed by patterned borders on the left and right, featuring dark brown branches and leaves on a lighter brown background. A darker, intricately patterned border is at the very top and bottom of the scroll.
