Heron Maiden

A woman in a white robe with a black over-garment and red under-layers stands beneath a large black paper umbrella banded with a golden-yellow ring, her sleeve raised to shield her face as a white heron takes flight beside her, wings outstretched, near a leafy branch at upper right. A second heron stands quietly at lower left on the beige background, and red text columns run down the left margin with a red seal at lower right. "Heron Maiden," a woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, 1889.
