A young girl in a summer cotton dress — the fabric's simple print rendered through Hiratsuka's direct woodblock line — is among his wartime figure studies. The girl's posture and direct gaze give the print an intimate quality unusual in his work, which more typically treats architectural or natural subjects. The 1942 date places this alongside his temple prints of the early war period.
