This print shows a woman in a side profile, holding a small fish in one hand. Her hair is styled in a high, elaborate updo with a black fan tucked in, and she wears a patterned sleeve. The background is mostly plain, with a hint of pink and gold on her clothing. Notice how the artist used bold black lines to define her face and hair, almost like a sketch. The fish looks almost too bright against her pale skin. Want to see more prints like this? Look up Chōkōsai Eishō.
