Portrait of a Woman

Felice Beato

National Gallery of Art

The image features a woman standing. She is angled slightly to the left with her head turned slightly to the right, looking ahead. The woman has an oval face, soft features, a traditional hairstyle, and is wearing a kimono with a dark outer layer and a floral inner layer near the collar. She has an obi tied around her waist with a knot at the back featuring a landscape design. The woman is barefoot on woven flooring, with a neutral background and a soft, circular vignette effect around the edges.
