Beauty on an Embankment - Handsome portrait of a beauty standing along an embankment, looking to the side with a dismayed expression, her mouth slightly agape. She wears a light blue kimono bordered with swallows in flight, tied with a black floral obi that reverses to a red print. Her hair is adorned with tortoises hairpins and combs, including one with a mandarin duck on it, and a metal hairpin with a tiny duck daggling from a chain. A willow tree frames the view with undulating water below. An attractive design from a rarely seen Kunisada series, which is also translated as "Popular Flute Tunes and Pictures of Women."
