Chinese Beauty Beside a Plum Tree, leaf from the album “A Contest of Beauties from the Near and Distant Past” (Chūko shomeika bijin kurabe)

A woman wearing a green, blue, red, and white kimono stands on a grassy area beside a large tree with white blossoms; she looks down at a plum blossom she holds in her right hand. The tree has a thick trunk and branches that extend to the upper right. The woman's dark hair is styled in an updo with a black hairpin. She stands with her left leg in front and her weight shifted to her right leg. In the background, there is a red fence and two small shrubs beside a large gray rock on the right side. The image is printed on tan paper with red text and stamps along the right and left margins.
