This painting shows a woman in a long, flowing robe with bold red and green colors. She’s holding a fan and wearing a black hat with a feather. Her face is turned slightly, and she looks calm. The background is a plain, textured gold-brown, with Japanese writing at the top. The artist used simple shapes and bright colors to show her outfit’s details. The writing at the top is poetry, likely about her character. Next, check out The Metropolitan Museum of Art to see more works like this.
