Description
A close-up portrait of a woman wrapped in a teal-blue hood or shawl that frames her face, with pale skin, dark curled hair at her temple, red lips, and a beauty mark on her cheek. She holds a cigarette between two fingers of an upraised hand adorned with a green-stone ring, her elbow resting on a dark garment edged with a striped orange-and-purple cuff, against a plain cream background. This woodblock print, titled "Ine" by Takehisa Yumeji, bears a red seal and Japanese characters near the lower left.
