Description
A young woman in a dark, checked kimono with a white and blue floral-patterned obi stands in profile at a wooden railing, her hair swept up in a large dark coiffure. She gazes out toward a pale, misty landscape of soft hills and water beyond the railing, rendered in muted grey-blue tones against the darker figure. "Summer Shower," a color woodblock print by Ito Shinsui, 1917.
