Brief Description
A figure in a flowing garment reaches toward a cylindrical object, on a vertical scroll
Detailed Description
A vertical scroll features a single figure on a light, unadorned background. The central figure, positioned slightly below the vertical center, is depicted in light washes of color and black ink outlines. The figure stands with their body angled slightly to the right, leaning forward, with their head tilted downwards. Their right arm is extended forward and slightly down, while their left hand is held near their chest. They wear a light-colored, flowing garment, possibly a kimono, with subtle green and blue tints, cinched at the waist by a patterned obi in shades of red and white. A small, light-colored cap or head covering sits atop their dark hair, which is styled in a bun at the back of their head. On the ground to the lower right of the figure, a light brown cylindrical object, resembling a bucket or basket, lies on its side, with other faint, indistinct shapes nearby. In the lower left corner, vertical lines of black text are visible, accompanied by two square red seals below them. The central image area is framed by a wide, textured gold-colored border, with a narrower, patterned gold band at the top and bottom edges.
