Beauty Looking at Shinobazu Pond
Description
A woman with an elaborate black lacquered coiffure held by a yellow comb sits reading a small blue book, her head tilted down and eyes lowered toward the page; she wears a gray-and-black dotted kimono with a red inner collar. The composition is divided by large curved fan-shaped or drapery forms in tan and gray, with the woman occupying the lower right and a muted landscape of a pond, thatched-roof structures, hills, and dark shrubs filling the upper left. A red seal appears near the lower right corner. Watanabe Seitei, "Beauty Looking at Shinobazu Pond," woodblock print, year unknown.
