Beauty Under Moonlight
Utagawa Kuniyasu
ca. 1811-15
In a lime green kimono with a bat pattern at the hem, a courtesan adorned in a tortoiseshell comb and kanzashi, holds a roll of kaishi paper on a veranda. She appears entranced by the beauty of the rising moon against the backdrop of vast mountain ranges and lush greenery.
Kuniyasu was a student of Utagawa Toyokuni I (1769-1825).
