Description
A small nude figure stands at the edge of a rocky shoreline where dark green cliffs meet a churning grey-and-white sea, rendered in bold, simplified outlines. The composition is dominated by the diagonal sweep of moss-toned rock in the foreground against choppy wave patterns rendered in curling black linework, with a muted, earthy palette of greens, greys, and tan. "Kanae" is signed in red at the lower left. *Bathing*, a color woodblock print by Kanae Yamamoto, 1918.
