The image depicts a traditional Japanese woodblock print titled "Benevolence, from The Five Virtues" by Suzuki Harunobu. The print features two women in traditional Japanese clothing indoors. The standing woman wears a green kimono with pink accents and a white sash, and has her hair styled in a bun. She is leaning over a seated woman who wears a white kimono with pink accents and a blue and white patterned obi. The standing woman holds a makeup brush and appears to be applying makeup to the seated woman. A stool with a white cloth draped over it sits to the right. In the background, a window reveals a scene with a red-roofed building, a tree with white blossoms, and a man running through a field with a large ball. Japanese text appears in the top-right and bottom-left corners. The dominant colors are beige, green, pink, white, and black.
