A woman in a traditional Japanese kimono, with a light-brown and orange color scheme, and black hair styled in a bun with a yellow headband, is depicted barefoot and leaning forward. She appears to be standing in water, with her left leg slightly raised and her right foot submerged. Her hands are extended over the water, with her right hand above her left. The woman's kimono has a distinctive design, with long, flowing sleeves and a wrap-around style. The background features swirling waves and ripples in the water, drawn in black lines. A small rectangular box with Japanese text is positioned at the top center of the image. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of beige, light brown, and orange dominating the scene.
