Comments - Charming portrait of a beauty reading a letter with a cat sitting in her lap. She looks down, her mouth slightly agape, the long sheet of paper trailing over her knees and onto the floor. A tobacco set and pipe rest nearby, and a bowl of morning glories sits atop a black lacquer chest at right. A circular inset above depicts a waitress sitting on a bench at a tea stand, with blue curtains and red paper lanterns hanging overhead. An attractive subject.
