Beauty at a Fountain

Comments - Attractive portrait of a beauty at a fountain, pressing her hands against the stone as the water runs over the top in flowing streams. She smiles as she turns her head to the side, looking back out of the corners of her eyes. Her tie-dyed blue outer robe has been pushed down to the waist, revealing a white kimono patterned with blue hydrangeas, worn over a red under robe. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth bun, adorn with a red ribbon and a feathery hairpin. Nicely detailed with very fine line work in the hair and eyelashes. A charming image.
