Comments - Charming image of a beauty enjoying a picnic under a blossoming plum tree. She relaxes on mats spread on the ground, leaning back on one hand as she takes a toothpick from her mouth. She wears a black outer kimono bordered with flowers and tied with a checked obi. A red lacquer tray holds dishes of food, and a blue and white ceramic sake bottle sits in a warmer nearby. A bamboo garden fence encloses flowering yellow shrubs, with the plum branches framing the gray evening sky above. An attractive spring subject, nicely detailed and colored.
