A Woman's Graceful Walk: A woman in traditional Japanese attire walking in front of a wall made from thin strips of bamboo. The painting is rendered on gold leaf with subtle texture and color variations that add depth to its surface. She walks away, her head slightly bowed but gazing forward. Her long black hair cascades down her back, adorned with red and yellow beads near the top. She wears a long-sleeved teal kimono featuring intricate designs and floral patterns on the bottom and right side, including two blue birds perched in green branches and pink flowers nestled among grayish-green leaves. The collar of her kimono is white with a thin purple border. She has a light blue sash tied around her waist that matches the pattern of the lower left corner of her kimono. Underneath, she wears loose beige pants with red trim at the hem. Her feet are clad in traditional white Japanese footwear called 'geta,' and her long teal obi is wrapped intricately around her right hip. She carries no visible items but walks elegantly in front of a simple bamboo wall that forms the background of this image.
