Description
One of Sekino's color woodblock girl portraits from the twentieth century's middle decades, this work places a young female figure — the subject unnamed, the moment unspecified — within the compositional framework he developed for children: a clean background, the face carrying the full emotional weight, the body's posture suggesting something about the child's inner state without narrating it directly.
