The image depicts a man in a blue and white striped kimono, sitting at a table with a mirror in front of him. He is holding a makeup brush to his face, with a palette of colors on the table beside him. In the upper left corner, a smaller inset image shows a man in a black suit peeking through a curtain. The man in the kimono has dark hair and a mustache, and is wearing a blue cuff on his right wrist. The background of the image is a light beige color, with a subtle floral pattern visible in the inset image. This painting is reminiscent of the work of artist Tomioka Eisen, who was known for his realistic and impressionistic depictions of everyday life.
