Description
A woman in profile leans on a windowsill wrapped in a black outer robe, her hands drawn up near her chin, gazing out through a paper-paned window toward a pale, hazy waterline beyond. Beneath the black robe, a bright underlayer of red, blue, and white asterisk-patterned fabric spills across the foreground, contrasted by a striped collar in muted pink, blue, and cream tones and dark hair swept into a high, rounded coiffure. *Yuki (Snow)*, by Torii Kotondo, 1929, Japanese color woodblock print on handmade paper.
