Comments - Lovely portrait of a courtesan strolling through the Yoshiwara, pausing to look back over her shoulder with a slightly concerned expression. Her outer kimono features a pattern of bamboo with tan border featuring black waves, trimmed with a floral print and tied with a tan obi decorated with pine branches. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth bun, adorned with tortoiseshell combs and hairpins. A low fence encloses a garden with a blossoming cherry tree above yellow flowering shrubs. An attractive Edo era beauty portrait.
