A Japanese ink drawing of a woman on aged paper, with Japanese writing to the left. The woman is wearing a kimono with large floral patterns and has dark hair. She is standing in front of a window with her left arm raised and hand resting against the window frame. Her right hand is extended downward, and she looks down with her head turned to the right. A hexagonal symbol with a leaf inside is in the top-right corner. Two square seals, one containing Japanese characters within a circle and the other with a leaf design, are at the bottom-left and top-right. The paper is off-white with visible creases and tears.
