Beauty Reading

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.

Artist - Eisen (1790 - 1848)

Image Size - 14 3/4" x 10 1/8"

Condition - This print with excellent color and detail as shown. Stitching holes along bottom edge from previous folio binding, a few small wormholes and holes, repaired, blends well. Toning, slight soiling. Please see photos for details. Good overall.
