Lady

A seated woman with a round, rosy-cheeked face and dark blue upswept hair plays a long-necked stringed instrument held across her lap, rendered in bold black outlines filled with flat red, blue, yellow, and green. Columns of Japanese characters fill the background against a mottled crimson ground, and a white smudged passage crosses the center of her torso and the instrument's neck. Woodblock print on Japanese paper, "Lady" by Shiko Munakata, 2021.
