Arranging Hair Before a Window

A nude woman kneels before a round mirror, one arm raised to arrange her dark upswept hair with a comb, her head tilted toward her reflection. She sits on a black-and-white patterned garment pooled beneath her, with a stack of pale books or boxes to her left against a mottled silvery-grey background. The palette is muted — pale flesh tones, black hair, and soft grey — giving the scene a quiet, intimate mood. "Arranging Hair Before a Window," woodblock print by Hirano Hakuhō.
