Comments - Charming portrait of a beauty on a verandah kneeling next to an empty bird cage. She looks over her shoulder with a smile as she gestures with one hang, the other resting atop the wooden railing. Three small containers and a bowl rest on a black and red lacquer tray nearby. The verandah overlooks a pond, with a mandarin duck preening on a rock at left, and a green bird is perched on the blossoming plum branch framing the view. An interesting subject, detailed with fine bokashi shading in the water and sky.
