A vertically oriented woodblock print depicts two women with light skin, red lips, and black hair working at an embroidery frame. Standing on the right, a woman in a green patterned kimono looks down. To the left, another in a tan and black robe crouches over the frame, where pink and orange peonies are stitched. In the upper left, an open fan displays calligraphy beside vertical text slips against a beige background.
