Description

A woman with elaborately piled dark hair and a floral hairpin reclines in a wicker chair, her right elbow propped on its arm and chin resting against her hand as she gazes off to the side. She wears a grey-blue kimono patterned with dark leaf-like motifs over a white under-robe, with a cream obi decorated with blue flowers and tied with a red and pink cord; a section of red fabric shows at her lap. Behind her, a green tree with bare branches fills the background, and two red seals along with an artist's signature appear in the upper right corner.
