Courtesan Resting on the Veranda

Furuyama Moromasa

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woman sits cross-legged on a raised platform, wearing a blue kimono with red lining and a floral pattern. Her hair is pulled back, and she has a serene expression. A low table beside her holds two green objects. The background features a brown wall with a round window, a green wall with a painting of plants, and a stone lantern with cherry blossoms under a branch. A border surrounds the image with a gold background and circular designs.
