- Hand-colored portrait of a Japanese woman standing in a doorway and holding a fan. She is standing in front of a sliding door with her right hand on the door, and looking off toward the right side of the frame. A hanging lamp and fan and other ornaments are to the right, and by her feet are a tea set and a small basket of fruit. The hand coloring is subtle and mostly pastel. Her robe is painted blue and bound with two sashes: one painted pink, the other patterned brown and yellow. The tassels on her fans and lamp are colored a deep red.
