Courtesan on a Verandah

Comments - Attractive portrait of a courtesan standing on a verandah, smiling as she looks over her shoulder, a roll of tissues in one hand and the other held to her chin beneath her red under robe. Her kimono is shaded from black to pale pink with a design of chrysanthemums, the fabric trailing around her feet on the patterned carpet. The iron railing behind her features scrolls, and cherry blossoms frame the deep blue sky. A handsome beauty design. Includes faint embossing on the white kimono collar.
