Comments - Handsome portrait of a courtesan leaning over a railing, looking down with a slightly worried expression. She holds a pipe case and a tobacco pouch with a fish netsuke dangling from it. She wears a black kimono bordered with a bold butterfly print, her hair adorned with combs and hairpins decorated with miniature gourds. An inset in the form of a pocket mirror at upper left shows a beauty looking up with an angry expression. An attractive design by a rarely seen artist, nicely composed, with embossing on the plaid areas of the kimono.
