Physical Description
This image is of a lone female figure centrally located on the scroll. The dominate color of the image is red. The figure's outer kimono is decorated with red and gold maple leaves.
Subject Matter
Living in Kyoto, Soken was one of Maruyama Okyo's ten best pupils. He excelled in his depictions of beautiful women. The woman in this work, with one arm withdraw into her sleeve and a hand working to let down her hair, appears to be undressing. The soft reddish blush on her cheek and her averted eyes suggest that she is aware of being observed.
