Description

A flower seller wearing a wide woven hat and a blue robe stands amid tall woven baskets brimming with red berry sprigs, chrysanthemums, and other autumn blooms in red, orange, pink, and white. Rendered in muted ink and color against a pale, undefined ground, the figure is seen from behind in three-quarter view, one arm reaching up into the foliage. Yamada Keichū's composition centers entirely on the massed flowers, which crowd the frame while the seller remains a quiet, partly obscured presence at its middle.
