The woodblock print depicts three women in traditional Japanese kimonos. The woman on the left has a rust-colored kimono with a patterned design; she faces right and appears to be standing, with one knee bent. The central woman, wearing a rust-colored kimono with white details and a large floral patterned obi, sits on a low platform with her left leg extended. The woman on the right wears a similar rust-colored kimono and appears to be standing behind the seated woman. The background features a room with tatami flooring, a low platform with a patterned rug, sliding doors with green blinds on the left and brown panels on the right, and two hanging leaves. A gray color gradient bar with black numbers is on the right side. The print, titled "On the Engawa of Tsuta-ya," is by Suzuki Harunobu.
