Comments - Charming kabuki portrait of a beauty pausing for a rest while traveling. She grins happily as she looks over her shoulder, lifting a hat with her hand. She has a cloth bundle tied around the shoulders of her black kimono, which appears quite tattered at the edges. Her short hair is tied back in a tiny ponytail, with loose wisps framing her face. An inset above in the form of a scroll unrolling shows a man poling a boat across the water, geese overhead descending for the night. Attractively colored and nicely detailed, with a faint embossed texture in the gray under robe.
