Her blue outer robe is partially removed and reveals a patterned red and blue robe beneath. The bottom of the outer robe has a spray of flowers, and a crest adorns the left sleeve. A lantern lights up the stage behind her.<br /><br />

This hanging scroll depicts what appears to be a large waterfall hidden by rock outcroppings. Towards the bottom left are pine trees growing on a rock. The water that the waterfall enters is rough and painted with a lot of movement. Just opposite of the pine tree is what appears to be the artist&#39;s signature written in black, quickly followed by an inscription in red. The scroll is framed by a blue and gold silk cloth with a floral inscription. There is a short stripe of a lighter blue-colored cloth with a different floral pattern on the top. The painting has splashes of color in the water, making it blue, and in the trees, making them green.&nbsp;

This sheet is dominated by the head of an old man with a voluminous beard, seen in 3/4 view, with head turned to the figure's left. Grey tones dominate the drawing, and the suggestion of the man's hunched shoulders in the background increases the sense that he is leaning his head towards the viewer.
