Comments - Lovely image of two beauties enjoying the evening air and viewing the moon from a verandah. The woman at right rests one arm atop the railing as she looks up over her shoulder, a folded fan in her hand. Her companion wears a sheer gray kimono with a design of white crosshatches over a red under robe, tied with a black obi that reverses to checks. The verandah overlooks the river, with pine trees and rooftops on the shore below and a few boats on the water beneath the glowing full moon. Most interestingly, the women cast gray shadows on the floor, showing the influence of Western art. An attractive scene.
