Description : The woman portrayed in the print is probably a geisha. Her beautiful robe & elaborate coiffure show the latest fashion. Of particular interest are the very fine lines which make up the hair where it meets her pale skin. The wisps of hair at the back of this woman's neck have an erotic appeal to the Japanese.
