This print shows a woman in a blue robe and dark outer garment, standing under a bare tree. The background is mostly empty, with a pale sky and a bright moon. Her hair is styled neatly, and she holds a fan in one hand. The tree’s branches are simple but striking, with no leaves—just lines against the sky. The colors are flat and bold, especially the blue of her robe. Look up cross-hatching to see how artists build shadows with lines.
