The painting depicts a woman in a vibrant red kimono with intricate white patterns, walking to the left. Her black hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a light blue undergarment with floral designs. A quiet detail is the subtle contrast between the bold red of her kimono and the softer hues of her undergarment. This painting might remind you of the works of other artists who explored the use of bold colors and patterns, such as the Japanese artist Torii Kiyonaga.
