Description

A single standing woman with long black hair fills the vertical composition, her pale face turned slightly with a faint smile, one hand raised to her chest and the other extended holding a rosary with a cross pendant. She wears a loose, vertically pleated grey robe over a red garment visible at the neckline, set against a background of angular radiating stripes in red, purple, grey, and cream that fan out around her like stylized rays. This woodblock print, "Final settlement of love" by Takehisa Yumeji, uses flat, bold color fields and strong black outlines typical of the mokuhanga medium.
