The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woman sits on the floor, turned to the right. Her hair is pulled back, with a half-moon-shaped accessory on top. She wears a kimono with circular patterns. A folded fan lies on the floor beside her. In her right hand, she holds an incense burner. Beside her on the right is a basket containing what appears to be a plant. The background features Japanese characters.
