Cabinet card studio portrait showing a woman posed full length wearing a Japanese inspired kimono style garment and holding an open folding fan. The mount bears the gilt imprint A. Jandorf & Co., Berlin at lower right on the front. The reverse carries the full printed studio information and branch addresses. The sitter is unidentified.

The woman stands in three quarter view with her head turned slightly to her left, holding a large decorative fan behind her shoulders so that it frames her head. She wears a patterned kimono with wide sleeves and floral motifs, secured at the waist with a broad sash. Her hair is styled up, and she wears dark shoes visible beneath the hem of the garment. The studio setting includes a painted backdrop with a balustrade and foliage, and a simple wooden stool placed at her right. The floor covering shows a subtle patterned design typical of late nineteenth century European studios. The pose and costume reflect the period fascination with Japonisme in European portraiture.
