A traditional Japanese-style painting depicts two women. The woman on the right is standing, wearing a red kimono with white circular designs and red and white striped undergarments. She is holding a white paper in her left hand. Her hair is styled in a bun at the back of her head. The woman on the left is kneeling and slightly turned away from the viewer. She wears a kimono with a white base and a floral pattern of red, blue, and black. A green and gold patterned border frames the painting on all sides. The background of the painting is a mottled light brown color.
