Beauty Ironing

Comments - Charming scene of a beauty using a long-handled pan filled with hot coals to iron a lavender kimono spread flat on a mat on the floor. Her companion at left smiles happily as she holds out an intricately patterned brown and light blue robe, perhaps waiting to iron it as well. Nicely detailed, including embossing in the brown robe.
