Description
A woman in half-profile stands against a plain grey background, her dark hair swept up with a red-tipped hairpin, pale face, and red lips slightly parted in a faint smile. She wears a cream kimono patterned with bold rust-brown abstract leaf or flame shapes, over a striped blue-and-brown underlayer, with a wide black collar band edged in blue check; a red-and-blue fan or folded object is tucked at her side near the bottom edge. *Stream of Stars*, a mokuhanga (Japanese woodblock print) by Sentaro Iwata, date unknown, signed in black at the lower left.
