Comments - Lovely portrait of a beauty after a bath, her striped robe wrapped loosely about her. She holds a round fan in one hand as she looks out over the verandah at the leaves falling towards a rippling stream below. A patterned kimono is draped over a screen behind her, and a tie-dyed towel hangs over a small stand to dry. The verse above by the poet Fujiwara no Toshiyuki reads:

Though nothing showed
Too clearly to my eyes
That fall had come
I was startled
By the sound of the autumn wind.
