This painting shows two women dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, with one standing and the other kneeling. The women are wearing long robes with floral patterns and have their hair styled in an updo. They are both holding black fans. The woman standing is looking down at the kneeling woman, who is holding a small object in her hand. The background of the painting is a light beige color, which helps to highlight the vibrant colors of the women's clothing. The painting's use of bold colors and intricate patterns is reminiscent of the Romanticism movement.
