Series; Twelve Views of Modern Women
Beauty with a Doll - Attractive portrait of a beauty holding a doll, smiling as she looks over her shoulder. She wears a yellow-green kimono patterned with butterflies and chrysanthemums over a red tied-dyed under robe, tied with a blue tie-dyed obi. She wears fashionable red lipstick that takes on a green tone when applied more thickly, giving the appearance of two colors. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth bun, adorned with a floral comb, ribbons, floral ornaments, and hairpins, including one with a tiny dragonfly quivering on a wire above a flower. An inset at upper right in the form of a scroll unrolling shows a view over the grounds of a shrine. A charming design with wonderful detail, and a subject we haven't before seen.
