Young Lady with Parasol

Ishikawa Toyonobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woman in a kimono standing on a path holds a parasol over her head with her right hand. The kimono has a green and beige background with a floral pattern. She stands on a beige path with grass at the bottom. A fence made of vertical wooden slats is behind and to the left of the woman. A small tree with a few branches and leaves, some of which are falling, is behind and to the right. The background has a light-brown color with darker brown spots. There are several lines of Japanese text on the image, one vertically down the left side, one on top of the parasol in its center, and one on a rectangular vertical sign on the fence. The woman's face is turned down and to the right.
