Beauty under the Mosquito Netting

Comments - Lovely image of a young beauty kneeling behind the mosquito netting used in summertime, reading a letter by the light of a lamp. She leans forward, examining the message closely as she holds the scroll between her hands. Incredibly fine line work in the netting. A beautiful old Meiji era reprint.
