Description

A woman in a dark navy kimono patterned with a scattered blue polka-dot motif stands in profile, her hair swept into a black chignon, a checkerboard obi tied at her waist with a red cord. She looks toward the viewer while holding a thin cord attached to a black-and-white spaniel-type dog playing with a striped red, blue, and yellow ball on the tan floor beside her. The background is a plain tan tone with a round artist's seal and "TOKYO 1915" inscribed at right; this color woodblock print, titled *Woman with Parasol*, was made by Fritz Capelari in 1915.
