Description
A woman in profile with elaborately styled black hair kneels beside a low table or kotatsu draped in a patterned quilt of blue, pink, and white asterisk-motif fabric, her hands clasped near her chin. She wears a black outer robe with a striped indigo-and-white collar and a green under-layer visible at the hem, set against a shoji screen window showing a faint landscape beyond, with a brown wall panel to the right bearing the artist's signature and seal. The palette is dominated by black, indigo, and soft pink, giving the scene a quiet, contemplative mood; per the accompanying facts, this is Torii Kotondo's 1929 woodblock print "Snow (Yuki)."
