The artwork "Beauty in Snow" by Isoda Koryūsai depicts a woman dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. The woman wears a kimono with a dark-colored outer layer and a light-colored under layer. The kimono is wrapped around her body with the right side over the left, and a sash is tied around her waist. Her kimono sleeves are long and narrow, hanging down. The woman's hair is styled in an updo, with some strands framing her face. She sits on a low stool with her knees bent and covered by her kimono, and her feet are tucked underneath. The background is a light brown color with some darker brown lines suggesting trees or other scenery. Snow is visible on the ground beneath her. The overall composition is vertical, and the drawing is rendered in shades of brown and black.
