Profile View of a Woman Strolling in the Moonlight

A woman in a dark kimono with a vivid blue obi stands in profile beneath a bare-leaved tree whose branch sweeps diagonally across the sheet. A pale moon glows at upper left, and small falling petals drift through the muted tan background. A red seal mark sits near the lower right.

Look closer: A small red seal mark near the lower right edge of the trunk.
