Comments - Charming portrait of a courtesan standing in a doorway, smiling as she rests one hand on the sliding panel. She wears a black kimono bordered with a geometric pattern over a red under robe, an obi that reverses from a floral print to a red tie-dyed design wrapped loosely around her waist. The young kamuro or child apprentice carries a blue and white ceramic teapot. An attractive design with a nicely detailed setting.
