This is an image of a traditional Japanese woodblock print. The artwork depicts a woman seated on the floor; she's likely a courtesan based on her elaborate kimono and hairstyle, which includes multiple hairpins and a wide-brimmed hat. In her left hand, she holds a long smoking pipe close to her mouth. She is gazing downward, appearing thoughtful or focused on the pipe.

The woman is wearing multiple layers of clothing, another indication of her presumed courtesan status, with patterns on the visible garments suggesting a degree of wealth or luxury. A small low table with a teapot and a tea cup in front of her suggests the setting might be in a private chamber or teahouse. The background is largely absent except for what appears to be large red leaves or perhaps flames, giving a vivid contrast to her pale skin and the more muted colors of her attire.

There's calligraphy to the right top side of the print, typically indicating the title, artist's name, or other relevant information in such prints. Below the calligraphy is a red seal mark, often used by Japanese artists as a signature or stamp of authenticity.
