Description
A seated nude woman fills the composition against a flat vermillion ground, her body rendered in bold, angular planes of warm grey-brown with heavy black contour lines and visible woodgrain texture. Her head tilts to rest against one raised, bent arm, eyes half-lidded and lips deep red, while the torso is simplified into interlocking curved shapes with dark outlines marking the breasts and midsection. A red artist's seal appears at lower left, with pencil edition marking "1/30" below the image; the print is titled "Test print: nude" by Okiie Hashimoto, mokuhanga, year unknown.
