The composition is hand-painted silk on silk, a refined technique commonly used in mid-20th-century Japanese works created for interior display and export.

The piece showcases elegant line work, subtle shading, and vibrant yet harmonious colors. The subject is complemented by a bold red parasol and delicate floral motifs, reflecting classic Japanese aesthetics. The artwork is signed in Japanese characters and bears a red seal, consistent with period decorative works rather than fine-art ukiyo-e prints.
Presented in its original mid-century frame with a warm faux woodgrain finish, black inner trim, and neutral mat, the piece displays beautifully and works well in a variety of interiors, including eclectic, Asian-inspired, Hollywood Regency, and mid-century spaces.
