Description
A woman with elaborately styled black hair kneels by a window, resting her chin on folded hands as she gazes out at falling snow over a coastline. She wears a black outer robe with a striped and patterned collar over a red-and-blue geometric-patterned kimono, with a purple under-layer visible at the neck. The scene is quiet and contemplative, rendered in muted blacks, deep reds, and blues against the pale grey of the snowy window view; this woodblock print, titled *Snow (Yuki)*, was made by Torii Kotondo in 1929.
