Beauty on a Veranda in Snow is a 1798 unspecified by Sakai Hōitsu, a Ukiyo-e work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman standing on a veranda, dressed in a white kimono with red sleeves and a floral pattern. She is looking down, and her dark hair is styled in an updo with a pink ribbon. The background is a solid gold color, with white specks that suggest snowfall. The woman's kimono has a subtle sheen, and the folds of her clothing are depicted in soft, gentle lines. The overall effect is one of quiet elegance and refinement. If you're interested in learning more about Japanese art from the same period, you might want to explore the work of artist Sakai Hōitsu.
