Series; Eight Famous Views of Women
Love for a Street-walker - Attractive portrait of an Edo prostitute hurrying through the streets. She wears a black outer robe over layers of colored kimono, tucking her hand into the obi at her waist. A white scarf is draped over her head, the edge caught between her teeth, and loose wisps of hair frame her face. A charming design with fine line work in the hair and a subtle burnished geometric pattern in the black kimono collar.
