"Hanazuma of Hyōgoya, Kenbishi of Sakagami” from the series The Peers of Saké Likened to Select Denizens of Six Houses (Natori zake rokkasen: Hyōgoya Hanazuma, Sakagami no Kenbishi)
A Japanese woman sits on the floor, wearing a kimono with a pink and white floral pattern on the hem and pink stripes on the bodice. She has black hair with a few yellow sticks protruding from it and appears to be adjusting her hair with one hand. A black circular object sits on her back, possibly a fan. A white scroll with Japanese writing on it and a wicker basket containing a few branches are behind her. The background is a muted yellow color with a pink floor. A pink oval with Japanese writing on it and more Japanese writing run vertically along the right of the image.
