Comments - Attractive triptych depicting three beauties on a verandah in spring, enjoying the cool air. At left, a maid carries a folded robe over her arm, looking back over her shoulders at the beauty in the center. She smiles at the servant, holding a folding fan in her hand. At right, a woman looks over the railing, exclaiming at the blossoming cherry trees filling the garden below. She wears a black kimono bordered with Genji symbols, and tied with a blue and brown brocade obi. Red paper lanterns hang overhead. A charming image, nicely detailed.
