Description

A woman with dark hair swept into a bun sits gazing at a small mirror held in her raised right hand, her lips slightly parted. She wears a pink under-robe with a green floral-patterned collar, both rendered against a plain pale background that isolates her upper body and bare shoulders. The palette is soft and muted—pink, olive-green, and black—giving the woodblock print, "Woman with a Hand Mirror" by Hashiguchi Goyo, a quiet, intimate mood.
