Description
A young woman in a blue kimono patterned with white blossoms and a dark blue obi stands in profile beside a wooden post, her hair wrapped in a white cloth, gazing down toward a low wooden bench holding potted morning glories in bloom with a bamboo trellis behind them. The palette is soft and muted — pale grays and tans in the background against the vivid blue of the robe and touches of green foliage — with vertical text cartouches and an artist's seal in the upper right and lower left. Woodblock print, "Morning Glories" (朝がお), by Ogata Gekkō.
