Description

A young woman in profile, her hair pulled back with a pale blue-green bow, holds a lantern pole with both hands, gazing down at the orange paper lantern that hangs from it, marked with a black tomoe (three-comma swirl) crest. She wears a pale blue kimono patterned with a dense fern or vine motif in dark blue, over a red under-layer visible at the collar, and a red-and-green patterned obi and bow at her back; the plain deep teal-blue background sets off the lantern's warm glow. This mokuhanga print, "Girl with lantern" by Elizabeth Keith, is signed in pencil at the lower right and numbered in pencil at the lower left.
