Description
A young woman in a dark blue-green kimono with a red-and-white patterned underlayer kneels beside a paper shoji screen, both hands clasped near her chin as she gazes toward the light filtering through it. Her hair is dark and swept up with a small pale flower ornament, and her face and hands are rendered in soft, pale tones against the muted kimono colors. Vertical Japanese text appears in the upper left corner; woodblock print, "To the Morning Light (Ten Female Subjects)" by Takehisa Yumeji.
