A woman on right with hair in buns wears a long brown kimono with train and sits facing left. Her hand rests on cheek as if smiling. A low table with cups and a teapot sits in front of them. A folding screen with bamboo design stands to the right. A lantern and a box sit to left. Background has striped and scalloped wall. Japanese characters appear throughout. By Suzuki Harunobu, titled The Art of Conversation.
