The scroll is slightly foxed overall as it was painted years ago.
The mounting part is slightly curly.
There are spots and stains to some extent.
As a whole, the condition of this scroll is not so bad.
A Japanese beauty im Kimono looking at two flying butterflies is painted
well.
Unfortunately, the paints of the butterflies are faded away, so, the butterlies
are almost unrecognizable.
Please note that this scroll is not authenticated by any appraiser.
