Description

A seated nude woman with long black hair drapes a dark brown kimono patterned with red, white, and ochre floral roundels around her shoulders and lap, leaving her torso bare as she looks downward with her right hand resting on her knee. The figure sits against a mottled tan and cream ground, with vertical columns of Japanese characters and a red seal-shaped signature at lower left, and a pencil-inscribed edition number (5/500) beneath the image. This mokuhanga print, titled "Long-sleeves kimono," is by Takasawa Keiichi; the year is unknown.
