A group of seated court figures arranged in a row on a pale tan ground, the men in dark blue, green, and maroon robes with black caps, the women in patterned kimono with pale blue and pink florals over deep purple hakama. In the foreground a figure in a white robe patterned with bold black stripes and colored florals, trailing a red under-robe, kneels and reaches toward an open book on the floor, while a red lacquered stand sits empty to the right. Columns of Japanese text flank the scene on either side and a small inset illustration of a landscape appears at upper left, with the title "能楽図絵" printed across the top in bold characters.
