Description
A woman in a dark blue kimono stands in the foreground, one hand raised to touch her hair, her face turned slightly downward with a contemplative expression. Behind her, a row of small figures in pale robes walks along a shoreline lined with white buildings and a boat, under a muted grey-blue sky. The palette is limited to indigo, grey, and cream tones, giving the scene a quiet, subdued mood; woodblock print, Deshima (Twelve Views of Nagasaki), Takehisa Yumeji.
