Description
A woman in an indigo kimono patterned with a lighter geometric motif, its red under-layer visible at the collar and cuff, stands in a garden holding a long-handled broom. Behind her rises a pine tree and clipped green shrubs beside a wooden well-frame, set against a flat grey-blue ground; her dark hair is swept up, and she looks downward toward her task. A vertical cartouche of Japanese text appears in the upper right. "Yellow rose," a woodblock print by Ogata Gekko (date unknown).
