A woman sits on a low stool, wearing a blue kimono with a cream-colored floral pattern and a red collar. Her black hair is styled in a traditional Japanese updo, with two buns on top of her head. The kimono has a black and white checkered fabric panel on the floor behind her. She appears to be reading a book that rests on her lap. The background is a light yellow color. The overall style is traditional Japanese.
