Comments - Handsome kabuki portrait of Segawa Kikunojo in the role of a courtesan, waiting beside a bench at a tea stand. She looks back over her shoulder with an unhappy sneer, patting her hair with one hand, a roll of tissues in the other hand. She wears a black kimono bordered with white blossoms over a red under robe, tied with a blue and white striped obi that reverses to a red print. Her hair is pulled back into a sleek bun, adorned with a tortoise shell comb and hairpins. A nice expressive figure.
