Description
A young woman is shown in profile within an oval medallion, her hair pulled into a dark upswept knot and adorned with red tropical flowers and green leaves, a blue cloth wrapped around her head and knotted with long trailing ends. She wears a dark blue kimono patterned with pink and white blossoms, set against a pale blue-gray ground. Surrounding the oval, a monochrome border in the same blue-gray tone depicts a coastal landscape of mountains, sailing ships, thatched-roof houses, and winding shorelines, framing the central portrait.
