A woman wearing a kimono with a floral pattern sits on the floor beside a low table, right leg bent and left leg extended. The woman's hair is styled in an updo with a decorative hairpin. The low table is rectangular with a lattice design on the legs and has a small tray with a container holding brushes, an inkstone, and a small framed picture on top. The background of the image is beige with some darker spots and a small vertical line of Japanese characters on the right side. The woman's left hand rests on the table while her right hand is raised. The image has a small rectangular black signature in the bottom left corner. The overall aesthetic suggests a traditional Japanese woodblock print.
