Description
A close-up bust portrait of a woman walking in falling snow, holding a pink umbrella above her with one hand raised to grip its wooden shaft. She wears a black outer robe with a red-and-white lining glimpsed at the collar over a grey under-layer patterned with a blue diagonal stripe, and looks down and to the side with a composed expression against a plain grey background flecked with white snowflakes. Torii Kotondo, "Peony Snowflakes" (牡丹雪), 1933, woodblock print.
