Twelve Images of Modern Beauties: SnowyNight (Shin bijin junisugata: Yuki no yo)

A woman in half-length profile fills the composition, her hair swept into a high black chignon ornamented with a light-colored comb and pin. She wears a red kimono patterned with pale floral and leaf motifs over a grey-and-white diamond-check inner collar, and gazes down at her raised right hand, its fingernails tinted red, with a round red lacquer object visible at the lower edge. The background is a flat pale blue-grey, and vertical Japanese text and a red seal appear at the upper left; this print is Ito Shinsui's "Twelve Images of Modern Beauties: Snowy Night (Shin bijin junisugata: Yuki no yo)," a woodblock print of unknown date.
