A woman stands posing on a vibrantly tiled staircase in Baqiao, China. She is positioned slightly left of center, her body angled to the left while she looks over her right shoulder directly at the viewer. She has dark hair styled in an updo adorned with a black fascinator and wears a black choker. Her attire includes a black strapless corset-style top with visible lacing on the back, long black elbow-length gloves, and a voluminous light blue or grey skirt with a textured, possibly feather-like, pattern. The immediate background is an ornate, multi-level architectural structure. To the woman's left, a winding mosaic-covered banister or wall features sculpted figures, including several monkeys, one holding an object, and a pig. This structure is integrated with abstract, tree-like elements decorated with spherical objects and a prominent coiled snake-like form, all composed of colorful mosaic tiles. The staircase she stands on is entirely covered in a mosaic pattern of irregularly shaped tiles in red, orange, yellow, green, black, and white. In the upper background, a weathered building facade with large windows and a red brick tower, partially obscured by foliage and featuring additional mosaic elements, is visible.
