A hanging scroll depicts two women with light skin tones and black hair against a tan background. On the right, a standing figure in a red and white striped kimono holds a sheet of paper. Behind her, a kneeling woman in a white robe patterned with orange and purple chrysanthemums gazes upward. At the bottom left, black Japanese calligraphy and a red seal complete the minimalist composition.
