Description

A close-up portrait of a young woman shown from the chest up, her face turned slightly toward the viewer with a calm, direct gaze. She wears a wide straw hat over a white head covering patterned with pale blue floral motifs, and a gray kimono with a red obi decorated with a leaf motif and a red-and-white cross-hatched pattern at the sleeve edges; she holds green leafy stalks against her shoulder. Behind her shoulder, red, yellow, and blue flowers or produce are visible against a flat blue-gray background. *Daughters of the field*, a mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print) by Maekawa Senpan, date unknown.
