Beauty Applying Lip Color - Attractive image of a beauty applying lip color as she looks into a pocket mirror in a folding floral case. She wears a purple kimono over a robe with a blue flower print and a red under robe with a patterned collar, tied with a striped obi. Her hair is pulled back into a smooth bun, adorned with a few hairpins and a blue ribbon. A few loose locks frame her face. A yellow panel with a geometric design runs diagonally across the shaded background, with a circular inset depicting a shamisen. A lovely portrait with fine line work in the hair, vibrant color, and handsome wood grain impression on the purple kimono
