Series; Eight Favorite Things in the Modern World
Decorated Paper - Lovely portrait of a courtesan pensively looking down over her shoulder, her mouth slightly agape. She holds a roll of tissues in one hand and an ornate detailed pipe in the other, her hand hidden beneath her red tie-dyed under robe. She wears an elegant green kimono patterned with chrysanthemums and trimmed with a black floral collar. Her hair is arranged with many butterfly hairpins and a blue ribbon. At upper left are pictured the decorative papers of the title, one printed with bats in flight. A charming subject.
