She is dressed in traditional Japanese attire, and the balcony is adorned with a railing and a roof. In the background, there is a large wave, and a bird is flying in the sky. The artist has used a range of colors to create a sense of depth and atmosphere in the painting. The woman's clothing and the balcony are depicted in muted tones, while the wave and the sky are rendered in more vibrant colors. The overall effect is one of calmness and tranquility.

Katsushika Hokusai spent his life in Edo, now Tokyo, where he drew and carved prints for a living.
