Description
A tall, narrow hashira-e print showing two women outdoors on a veranda beneath a flowering branch, with rolling hills and a pale moon in a grey sky at the top. The standing figure wears a red-orange robe and touches her fingers to her chin, while the seated figure in front wears a golden-tan robe patterned with a scattered motif and turns her head back toward her companion. Muted earth tones — russet, ochre, and soft green — dominate the palette, framed by a plain border; the composition is signed and titled in cartouches at upper right. Isoda Koryūsai, 1768, from "Eight Fashionable Views of the Shinagawa": *The Autumn Moon at Tokaiji*.
