Comments - Amusing image of a beauty painting the face of a maid who has dozed off, her companion holding a lamp and giggling. The maid dreams of a cat wearing a kimono and geta sandals, and holding an umbrella, while the kneeling beauty uses a brush to paint ink under her nose. An unusual comic image by Utamaro, nicely detailed with burnished lines to indicate the folds in the black kimono.
