Description
A woman in an orange-red kimono with a light blue collar and dark purple obi sits with her back three-quarters to the viewer, her bare feet tucked beside her on a blue patterned cushion as she turns her head to look over her shoulder. Her black hair is piled in a high traditional updo with a red ribbon, and she holds a round hand mirror at her side; the background is a plain mottled grey, with a red seal and vertical Japanese text at the right edge. Woodblock print by Torii Kotondo, 1929, titled "Undergarment (Variant State)."
