Comments - Charming vertical diptych or kakemono of a beauty returning from the bath, smiling as she looks down. She carries a robe in a bundle under one arm, her other hand holding a dotted towel draped over her shoulder. She wears a boldly checked black and white kimono over a red under robe, tied with a black obi that reverses to striped brocade. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth knot fastened with a red ribbon and adorned with a comb and a few hairpins, a couple of loose wisps framing her face. An attractive Edo era beauty portrait.
