A long, narrow painting on beige-colored paper. Three women are present. The woman on the right sits cross-legged on a floor cushion with her back against a wall; she wears a peach-colored robe with wide peach-colored sleeves; she has long black hair. The woman's right hand rests on a low table; her left hand holds a brush pen over a book on the table; the book is open with pages facing up; a small box is on top of the book. The two women on the left stand on a veranda; they wear kimonos; the woman on the left has an olive-green kimono with salmon-colored accents; the woman on the right has a maroon kimono; both have their hair styled in buns on top of their heads; they look downward at the seated woman. The veranda's railing runs behind the standing women; a dark brown floor is visible below. In the background, a bird flies through the sky; a wavy line represents its path.
