The Seventh Month - Lovely triptych depicting three beauties on a verandah in the seventh month, enjoying a feast of crab and other delicacies. The woman in the center offers at bite to her companion, extending her chopsticks with a smile. The beauty at left leans forward to take the food, a cup of sake in her other hand. At right, another woman carries a small blue and porcelain covered dish, her gray kimono decorated with blossom and bird cages. A full moon glows above the water at left, and ships are anchored in the harbor for the night. Red and white paper lanterns hang overhead. A charming subject, wonderfully detailed.
