A Japanese woman stands on a rock in a stream, washing clothes. She wears a blue top with white trim and a long white skirt with a floral pattern. A green cloth is draped over her left arm. The woman's dark hair is pulled back and she faces right, looking down at the water. A large willow tree hangs over the scene. A barrel sits on the bank to her left. The image is drawn in a traditional Japanese style with bold lines and muted colors. The artwork is circular, set against a beige background with signs of aging.
