A hanging scroll on silk depicts a dancer in the lower half of a vertical, light-yellow field. Turned to our left, the figure is enveloped in a voluminous red robe adorned with gold floral patterns and wears a pointed red and green headdress. They hold a patterned sleeve outward against the plain background. Below the dancer, black calligraphy and a circular red seal are positioned in the bottom right corner.
