The woman on the left sits and wears a brown kimono with a white and gray patterned under-kimono; her hair is pulled back with a black bow. A green, white, and red striped floor is underfoot. In the background, a winding river flows through a grassy area with several small boats. A tree with green leaves and a twisted trunk grows beside the balcony. The background shows a body of water and mountains. Vertical black Japanese characters appear on the left. The print is by Isoda Koryūsai.
