A woman with black hair pulled back into a bun wears a gray kimono with a patterned under-kimono visible at her chest and waist; she holds a white fan with red trim in her left hand. Two silhouetted men stand in the background on the left, one holds the arm of the other. A large white sun or moon is visible in the upper left. The image has a sepia tone.
