Description
A close-up half-length portrait of a woman with pale skin, dark almond-shaped eyes, a beauty mark below her right eye, and red lips, wearing a blue hood or shawl draped over her head and shoulders. She raises her right hand beside her face, fingers curled inward and adorned with a ring set with a blue-green stone, with a curl of dark hair visible at her cheek; a striped red-and-gold collar or fabric shows at her shoulder against a black garment. The background is plain unpainted paper, and red seal marks and a cursive signature appear in the lower left corner. Woodblock print by Takehisa Yumeji, year unknown.
