Series; Newly Woven Brocades: Musashi Beauties, 1883
Beauty Looking into a Mirror - Interesting portrait of a beauty leaning forward with her elbows on a makeup chest as she looks at her reflection in a mirror. Her hair is rather disheveled, with loose wisps framing her face, and a toothpick extends from the corner of her mouth. She wears a red tie-dyed kimono trimmed with a blue and gray check, a black obi that reverses to a stripe pattern wrapped loosely about her waist. Bowls sit on the deep windowsill above, and a robe hangs over the edge of a screen at right. Beautifully detailed with burnishing in the black obi, the mirror back, and the black bowl, with fine simulated wood grain on the makeup chest.
