Description

A wild-haired figure with a reddish, disheveled mane stands in a contorted, twisting pose, one bare leg and torso exposed beneath swirling drapery rendered in red and pink tones against a cream background. A dark cloud or shadowy form looms in the upper left corner, and vertical columns of calligraphy appear near the figure's hip and along the right edge. Kawanabe Kyosai, woodblock print, untitled, year unknown.
