短冊持立美人図|Courtesan with Poetry Card (Tanzaku) at the New Year is a 1714 ink by Kaigetsudō Dohan, a Baroque work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This is a black-and-white woodblock print of a woman. She's wearing a kimono with a pattern of plants and a long sash around her waist. Her hair is pulled back into a high ponytail, and she's holding a small piece of paper in her right hand. The woman is standing with her body turned slightly to the left, but her face is turned to the right. She has a gentle expression on her face. The background of the print is plain, with no other objects or scenery visible. This print is a great example of Japanese art from the early 18th century. To learn more about the artist who created this work, look up Kaigetsudō Dohan.
