An ink and color painting on an album leaf depicts the poet Ono no Komachi, a woman with light skin tone wearing layered robes of white, red, blue, and green. The top robe features black floral and wavy patterns. She sits with her head tilted right and eyes cast downward. Staggered columns of Japanese calligraphy occupy the upper tan background. A small red seal is in the bottom left corner.
