Description
A young woman in a blue kimono patterned with pale roundels, worn over an orange under-robe, stands with her head tilted downward and one hand raised to touch her chin, her hair pulled up and back. She is positioned beside a large grey rock or sloped stone surface, with faint pink petals scattered across a pale cream-to-yellow ground above, and only the tips of her orange-and-blue sandals visible beneath the rock's edge. Kobayakawa Kiyoshi's red seal appears at lower right; the woodblock print (1930) is mounted as a hanging scroll with a plaid brocade border.
