A vertically oriented ink and color painting depicts a woman with a medium-light skin tone in profile facing left. Intricate dark outlines define her large eye and long black hair. She wears a vibrant pink shawl with white patterns over a yellow and blue bodice and floral skirt. Flat, stylized vines with red and orange blossoms surround her. A thick pink border frames the composition, enclosing the dense, repetitive patterns.
