Detailed Description
A full-length painting on a vertical scroll shows a standing figure against a plain, light beige background. The figure, positioned slightly right of center, faces forward with their head tilted down and to the right. They have light skin and black hair styled in an elaborate bun with a white, rectangular ornament. The figure wears a long, flowing white kimono with wide sleeves. The kimono is adorned with a pattern of large, stylized circular motifs in red, green, and light blue, interspersed with swirling red lines and tassels. Some circles contain smaller concentric circles or floral patterns. A black and white checkerboard patterned sash cinches the waist, and a red collar is visible beneath the white kimono. The figure's left arm is bent, holding a fan or similar object partially obscured by the sleeve. Their right arm is mostly hidden by the voluminous kimono. The figure's feet, visible at the bottom, wear white footwear with red trim.
