This painting shows a woman standing sideways, holding a fan in one hand. She wears a bright red dress with gray dots and gold trim, and her sleeves and arms are also gold. Her head is covered with a red cloth, and she has a simple black outline for hair. The fan she holds looks like a small, folded piece of paper or cloth. The colors are bold and flat, with no deep shadows or blending. If you like this style, check out the Victoria and Albert Museum for more works like it.
The artwork depicts a woman holding a snake, rendered in watercolour and tin alloy on cardboard, symbolizing the twenty-seventh or fifth lunar mansion, Revati.
