Description
A woman emerges from her bath, her skin flushed pink from the hot water. She dries herself with a cotton towel, her hair still damp and slightly disheveled. The print captures a moment of unguarded naturalness that distinguished Shinsui''s bijin-ga from the more formal, posed compositions of earlier ukiyo-e masters.
