A woman dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono stands indoors, viewed in three-quarter profile turning left. She wears a long, flowing kimono with a predominantly orange and brown color scheme, adorned with a circular design on the front; a pale sash wraps around her waist. Her hair is styled up and secured with a decorative piece; she holds a fan in her right hand. She stands on a yellow floor in front of a shoji screen with a grid pattern. To her left, a low table or bench supports a potted tree. The woman's clothing and hairstyle suggest she may be an oiran. The image has a sepia tone.
