Standing Figure of a Woman

A woman in a richly patterned kimono with gold accents stands in profile, her head turned slightly, holding a red fan at her side. She wears a sash with a green-and-cream bow against a pale ground framed by a dotted blue border. The painting is in color and gold on paper, in a vertical hanging-scroll format.
