Beauty with a Letter - Lovely portrait of a beauty moistening the end of a letter she is about to seal closed and send. Her hair is beautifully arranged in a sleek bun with side wings, adorned with a lacquer comb and tortoiseshell hairpins. A pale green ribbon at the back of her hairdo matches the collar of her tie-dyed under robe, which is delicately embossed. Wonderful delicate line work in the hairline. A terrific portrait enhanced by a shimmering mica background. Rarely seen in reprint format.
