A Fan Suggesting a Dispersed Storm (Sensu no seiran) from the series "Eight Scenes of the Parlor (Zashiki hakkei)"

Two women in patterned kimono occupy the foreground beside a rocky stream, one seated on a low bamboo bench holding a fan, the other standing and adjusting the pin in her upswept hair; a shaven-headed child kneels at the water's edge, hands and a small basin dipped into the current. A pine bough and a bamboo trellis with a flowering vine frame the upper corners, with a low mountain silhouette and cascading water at right. The palette is muted — grey and indigo-checked robes, soft red under-linings, and beige ground — with vertical columns of text and a title cartouche filling the upper right; the print is by Torii Kiyonaga, 1772, color woodblock, chuban, titled "A Fan Suggesting a Dispersed Storm (Sensu no seiran)" from the series "Eight Scenes of the Parlor (Zashiki hakkei)."
