Nioteru of the Ogiya, circa 1825 - Lovely portrait of the courtesan Nioteru of the Ogiya, sitting beside a lamp with a slender pipe in her hand. Her citron yellow outer kimono is patterned with floral medallions, edged with a blue vine print and worn over layers of black pine print under robes. Her blue obi has a delicate cloud design circular phoenix motifs. She looks down, just her eyes and nose visible above her many kimono, her haired elaborately styled with many hairpins and combs.
