Beauty Putting a Comb in Her Hair - Attractive portrait of a beauty putting a comb in her hair, grinning as she looks up over her shoulder. She wears a light gray kimono patterned patterned with leaves in black and herons in white over a red tie-dyed under robe, tied with a blue obi that reverses to red tie-dye. Her hair is pulled into a low knot over her back, with loose wisps framing her face. A yellow panel with a geometric pattern runs diagonally across the shaded background, with a circular inset showing a basin of water with a towel hung up nearby. Nicely detailed with fine line work in the hair.
