Description

A woman in profile kneels on a purple cushion, holding a yellow wide-tooth comb up to her mouth as she gazes off to the right; her hair is arranged in a large dark pompadour-style coiffure with a pink patterned ornament and red pin. She wears a cream kimono patterned with dark blue iris leaves and flowers, cinched with a black, red, and turquoise striped obi; a turquoise fan lies on the cushion beside her. Behind her stands a round mirror and a low brown chest topped with a pale blue bowl, a red lidded container, and small dishes, set against a plain grey background — Torii Kotondo, "No. 2 - Iris Kimono - あやめゆかた," 1932, woodblock print.
