Description
A close-up bust portrait of a woman with elaborately dressed black hair held by orange combs and a purple band, wearing a white kimono patterned with an angular blue geometric design over a red under-layer and a striped obi. She holds a round fan painted with an image of a man in a red-and-black plaid kimono, and her half-lidded eyes gaze past it against a plain grey background. A red seal mark appears at lower left. Woodblock print, "Bijin and Fan," by Sentaro Iwata.
