Description

A young woman is shown half-length, her head turned and tilted downward in a three-quarter view, with pale skin, red lips, and dark hair swept into a high, elaborate coiffure held by an orange comb and an ornamental pin. She wears a layered kimono ensemble — a lilac patterned outer robe over pink, blue-plaid, and black-collared inner layers, cinched with a red obijime and a gold-and-black striped obi — against a pale blue background of blossoming cherry branches. The artist's signature and seal appear in the lower right; the print is a mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print) titled "Cherry blossom girl," attributed to Ito Shinsui, year unknown.
