Comments - Lovely portrait of a courtesan wearing an unusual and elegant outer kimono trimmed with peacock feathers and edges with layers of brocade, including an embossed floral design. She looks over her shoulder with a smile, her open lips showing tiny, even white teeth. Her light yellow under robe features a delicate pattern of stylized birds in flight and scrolling vines, tied with a bold geometric print obi. A charming Edo era beauty design, beautifully composed to fit the kakemono or vertical diptych format.
