She stands on a small green and beige patterned mat on a tatami floor, with a tatami room behind her. The room has sliding shoji screens on the right and back walls. A small black object and a closed fan lie on the mat. The woman's left hand rests on a decorative object on her kimono. She stands beside a sliding door on the left. A tall paper lantern with a white paper shade hangs on the back wall. Green plants are visible on the left. The title is "Print by Suzuki Harunobu".
