Comments - Lovely portrait of a beauty preparing to retire for the evening. She peers around the edge of a folding screen patterned with blossoming cherry trees and golden clouds, smiling slightly. Her red tie-dyed outer robe is trimmed with brown and blue floral brocade, worn over a pink kimono bordered with black flowers and tied with a blue plaid obi. Her hair is pulled back into a sleek bun, adorned with tortoiseshell combs and hairpins, and a blue ribbon. Black, fuzzy futons are stacked behind her next to an ornate lacquer tobacco set. A beautiful Edo era beauty print, with wonderful color and detail, also in the collection of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts.
