Description
A single reclining nude woman fills the horizontal composition, her rounded, simplified form rendered in flat pale peach tones with soft contour outlines against a white patterned drapery. She lies on her side facing left with dark hair loose across her raised arm, eyes closed and lips parted, set against a mottled deep indigo-blue background; the Japanese title characters 裸婦と女優 appear in black in the upper left corner. The print by Jun'ichiro Sekino (mokuhanga, year unknown) uses a restricted palette of flesh tone, white, and blue, with linear striations in the drapery suggesting folded fabric beneath the figure.
