The image depicts a traditional Japanese scene. A man and woman sit on the floor. The man wears a black kimono and sits on the right. The woman sits on the left, wearing a pink and white checkered top with a patterned skirt. She holds a teacup. A low table with tea equipment sits in front of them. Behind them, another woman stands on the right, wearing a beige kimono, and a third woman sits on the left, wearing a reddish kimono. A red folding screen with birds stands behind the women. The background is beige. The artist's style and era suggest a 18th-century Japanese woodblock print.
