雪中縁先美人図|Beauty on a Veranda in Snow is a 1794 ink by Sakai Hōitsu, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman in a long, flowing white robe with red and black patterns standing on a veranda. She’s holding a red fan and wears her hair up in an ornate style. Snowflakes dot the background, and the floor is a warm golden color with a patterned border. The woman’s robe has wide sleeves and a train that spreads out behind her, giving a sense of movement. The blue curtains on the side frame her like a stage. If you like this, check out Sakai Hōitsu for more works like this.
