An Oiran in Night Attire, pausing, with one Hand on the Screen that Surrounds Her Bed

The screen is positioned on the right side, her body facing left. The woman wears a light-colored kimono with a sash. She stands on a green floor next to a low table with a round tray on it and another object. A man lies on the floor in front of her. He wears a similar kimono and has black hair. The background includes a beige wall with a window; a bamboo branch is visible outside. A vertical line of Japanese characters is on the left. The colors used are muted, primarily shades of beige, brown, and green.
