A Beautiful Woman

Torii Kiyomitsu

Cleveland Museum of Art

A vertical, sepia-toned Japanese woodblock print. The woman's face is drawn with her head slightly bowed and tilted to the right. Her kimono has a black background with white circular designs and she wears a floral patterned obi. The woman's kimono drapes over her left shoulder and she holds a long, thin parasol above her head with her right hand. The parasol is decorated with a geometric pattern along the rim. The woman's hair has a short sidelock and a few strands of hair are pulled up into a low topknot on her head. The woman's footwear is visible and appears to be a low geta. The background contains Japanese characters and floral patterns. The artist's signature mark appears at the bottom.
