High-Ranking Samurai Girl with Four Attendants, from the series A Broc

A woman in a dark kimono with white blossoms and a patterned gold obi walks at the center, holding a folding fan, while a parasol shades the group. Four attendants follow, including a small child in orange robes and a woman in a checked outer garment.

Look closer: A small child in orange robes stands at the lower left, partly hidden by the figures beside her.
