The kimono has a yellow under skirt and red lining. Her hair is styled with a decorative hairpin. The two women on the left are dressed in blue kimonos with pink and gold designs. They have their hair tied back in a simple bun. The women appear to be indoors. They sit on a red tatami mat with a gold pattern. A low table with a floral design is on the left. The background is a green wall with a wooden railing. Two large trees with reddish-brown leaves are on the right and behind the women. The trees' branches are bare. The leaves fall around the women.
