Description
A woman is shown in half-length, head tilted slightly upward and eyes gazing to the side, with a large hooded garment pulled up over her head and gathered in both hands beneath her chin. The image is rendered as fine ink outline drawing on cream paper, with the only dense patterning found in a checkered/striped collar band at her neck; Japanese characters and the artist's signature "BINNIE" appear in the upper left and lower right. This woodblock print by Paul Binnie, titled "Four Seasons: Winter (Shiki: Fuyu)," uses spare, unshaded linework rather than the flat color blocks typical of the medium.
