Oriental costume design for an elegant woman, consisting of a tight-fitting, sleeveless, blue dress with long train, decorated with a garland of large yellow and red flowers and green leaves, worn over a white chemise with long, puff sleeves decorated with blue, semi-abstract motifs. The head is covered with a blue scarf, and crowned by a large, scale-shaped headdress, decorated with a bundle of large, orange rosettes and red flowers. Her face is heavily made up with blue eyeshadows, red lips and a black mole on her right cheek, and a green, tassel-shaped earring hangs from her right ear. She holds a long, green cigarette holder with a lit cigarette on her right hand, against her hip, and golden binoculars, which hang from a long strip of pearls around her neck, on her left hand. Her right wrist is decorated with a beaded, red bracelet; the left arm is wrapped by several beaded bracelets of red, green, and orange colors.
