Young Lady Looking through Door at Her Kamuro (Little Servant) who is Asleep on the Floor

Suzuki Harunobu

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

A woman wearing a long black kimono with white and gold designs peers around a screen to look at a little servant. The servant lies on the floor, wearing a tan kimono with red trim, and a head covering. The woman's hair is pulled back and she wears black shoes. A flowering branch protrudes from behind the screen. The woman's kimono has a salmon-colored lining. A balcony with a railing is visible in the background. The floor and walls are tan and gray. There are three lines of Asian script on the wall near the branch.
