Diptych of an interior, with a girl looking at the moon

Komura Settai's mokuhanga diptych pairs two spare interior scenes rendered in muted blue-grey, cream, and touches of red-orange. In the left sheet, a girl with dark hair and a pale patterned robe leans through an open window, gazing up at a thin crescent moon in a dark night sky, above a tatami mat edge and bare grey wall panels bearing the artist's orange seal. In the right sheet, a sliding door patterned with dark blue butterflies stands ajar onto a glimpse of a red-orange room beyond, while an open red-and-white folding fan decorated with cherry blossoms lies on the tatami floor in the foreground.
