Description

A woman with elaborately piled hair kneels with her back three-quarters to the viewer, wearing a bright red undergarment that falls open at the nape to expose her neck and shoulder; she holds a small round mirror in one hand as she turns her head to glance downward. The composition is spare, with fine black ink outlines defining the robe's folds against an unadorned beige background, and a Japanese inscription and seal appear in the right margin. *Long Undergarment*, woodblock print in ink and color on paper by Torii Kotondo, 1929.
