The Courtesan Writing from a Book from the series A Collection of Beautiful Women of the Yoshiwara
A woman wearing a kimono sits on the floor with her legs tucked under her, facing left and slightly hunched over. The kimono has a large brown panel across the back with white floral designs. The front of the kimono has a wide orange collar and diagonal stripes in white, orange, and brown. The woman has a brown obi around her waist. Her hair is styled in buns on the top of her head with two long black hairpins. In her right hand, she holds a brush, and in her left, she holds a rolled-up piece of paper. A low wooden table is to her left. The background is light brown with black Japanese writing on the right. The image is framed by a thin black border.
