Description
A standing female figure at left wears a floral, multicolored outer robe patterned with roundels over an orange divided skirt, her long dark hair trailing loose down her back as she gazes toward the right side of the composition. She faces a low platform draped in orange and blue-and-white patterned cloth, beside which a seated black-robed figure with a red cord and floral-crested costume bends over an object on the ground; a round inset at upper right depicts pink peonies against a blue background. The print's pale cream background and inked title cartouche frame the scene, consistent with its identification as "Yokihime," from Tsukioka Kōgyo's 1893 series "Pictures of Noh Performances (Nogaku Zue)."
