The Courtesan Emon of Maruebiya with a View of Tago Bay (form the series Courtesans with a Playful Group of Eight Views)
A woman in traditional Japanese clothing stands facing left, looking down. She wears a pink kimono with a green, yellow, and black pattern and a purple over-kimono with white flowers. Her long black hair is styled up with a large hairpiece consisting of many thin wooden sticks with flower-shaped tips. She holds a thin white cane in her left hand. A long, green and white patterned train extends behind her. To the right, a partial view of another person's clothing is visible, featuring a blue top and a red skirt with a white pattern. In the upper-left corner, a scroll depicts a landscape scene with trees and a body of water. A black rectangle with white Japanese characters is on the left, and Japanese characters are also written vertically on the right side and on the scroll. The background is beige.
