Depicted content

[edit]

Seifuku no Shōjo depicts a girl wearing a red beret, a blue and white three-lined sailor fuku with Kansai collar [zh], but without chest cover [zh], a dark blue pleated skirt, and a pin-buckle belt around her waist. She has a yellow neckscarf tied around her chest, her hands in front of her body, and a thoughtful expression. The background is a gray wall, which contrasts warm and cold with the tones of the figure's clothing.

The girl in the painting may have been a student as model, but the "Collection of Mariko Kashio's Posthumous Works" also includes a self-portrait wearing a sailor fuku, so it may also be the artist herself.[3]
