July - After the Bath, 1924 - Beautiful shin-hanga portrait of a sultry beauty after a bath, her checked robe slipping from one shoulder as she adjusts her hair, a towel caught between her teeth. The background features shimmering of mica. This subject is featured on page 97 of Amy Reigle Newland's book "The Female Image: 20th Century Prints of Japanese Beauties." A lovely painterly design by one of the few well-known female shin-hanga artists.
