Description
A close-up bust portrait of a young woman holding an open oiled-paper umbrella over her shoulder, its brown ribs and cream canopy filling the background with a red trim edge. She wears a green-and-black striped kimono with a purple floral under-robe and a red obi bow at the chest, her black hair swept into a high pompadour with a red hair ornament, and she gazes off to the side with a calm, downturned expression. Torii Kotondo, "Rain," 1929, color woodblock print.
