Description
A woman with elaborately dressed black hair, secured with a red-and-white ornamental pin, stands against a soft pink ground with a gray, rock-like silhouette in the upper left. She wears a dark purple kimono patterned with a subtle floral motif over a red-and-green under-layer, with a patterned obi in black, gold, and red tones, and holds a white cloth up near her cheek with one raised hand while her eyes are downcast. *Snow*, a woodblock print by Hirezaki Eiho (year unknown), renders the scene in muted pink, purple, gray, and white tones with touches of red and gold.
