A woman wearing a decorative robe with green and gold hexagonal patterns sits on the floor, with her knees bent to one side. The robe has an orange lining and trim. A large yellow folding fan is behind her. She holds a smaller fan in her right hand up to her face. A long piece of fabric or ribbing with loops runs from her left hand down to the floor. The background is beige with Japanese text on either side.
