Description
A nude woman bends forward over a round wooden basin, washing her long black hair, which cascades down and obscures her face. She wears a blue and white patterned robe pushed off her shoulders and pooling around her hips, decorated with a large morning-glory vine motif. The palette is limited to indigo blue, white, and flesh tones against a plain pale background, giving the composition a quiet, intimate mood. Woodblock print, "Washing Her Hair #175" by Ito Shinsui.
