Descending Geese at Katata (From the series Elegant Women and the Eight Views of Lake Biwa)
A woman in a green kimono with red and gray accents and a patterned red sash stands on one knee. The woman's hair is pulled back and adorned with a headband. She holds a red fan in one hand and touches her headband with the other. The background features a body of water with a pagoda-like building on the right and a mountain range on the left. A flock of birds flies over the woman's head. The image includes several lines of Japanese text on the left and right. The woman's kimono has a long train and the hem is outlined in gray. The background behind the woman fades from pink at the top to beige at the bottom.
