Woman in Summer Robe

A woman with upswept black hair kneels in three-quarter view, wearing a dark grey summer robe patterned with small white diamond motifs that falls open at the chest; she rests one hand on her knee and the other on the floor. She kneels on a pink cushion patterned with a floral lattice, beside a red lacquered stand draped with a blue and white patterned cloth, against a plain pale pink-beige background. The palette is muted — greys, dusty pink, pale green floor, and the red accent — giving the composition a quiet, intimate mood; Japanese characters and a red seal mark appear at right. Woodblock print, "Woman in Summer Robe," Hashiguchi Goyō, year unknown.
