The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a woman in a traditional Japanese kimono. The woman faces left and slightly away from the viewer. She wears a green kimono with beige lining and a beige obi with a diamond pattern. A black and beige hat rests on her head. Her left arm bends at the elbow with her hand behind her back. The background features vertical green stripes on the top half and beige vertical panels on the bottom half. A grayish-beige trim separates the two sections. The floor appears to be made of wood. The image has a beige border around it. Japanese characters appear on the bottom right.
