The image depicts a full-body portrait of a woman with dark hair tied up in a traditional Japanese bun. She is wearing a kimono with various patterns, including stripes and cherry blossoms. The kimono has a wide sleeve covering her left arm. The woman's left foot is slightly raised, and she appears to be standing on tiptoe. The background of the image is a light brown color with some darker brown lines and marks. There are four seals or stamps on the left side of the image, with Japanese writing. The overall composition suggests a traditional Japanese woodblock print. The woman's attire and hairstyle are consistent with those of a courtesan from the Edo period. The image is titled "Courtesan" and attributed to the artist Kaigetsudō Dohan.
