The artwork features a woman with long dark hair wearing a traditional Japanese kimono with a striped pattern. She appears to be sitting on or near a red object. A large tree with pink blossoms dominates the scene, covering much of the woman. The tree’s trunk is thick and gnarled, extending from the bottom center to the top left. Its branches are adorned with numerous small pink blossoms. The background includes a beige wall with a rectangular red section and a mountain range silhouette. Japanese characters are visible on the left side. The artwork appears to be a two-page spread from a book, indicated by a central crease and darker edges.
