Original Kunisada II (1823 - 1880) Japanese Woodblock Print
Beauty Applying Makeup
Series; Comparison of Portraits of Beauties

Beauty Applying Makeup - Terrific scene of a beauty kneeling before a mirror on a stand, applying makeup with a slender brush. She wears a deep red kimono patterned with birds and nets, and her hair is elegantly arranged with many decorative hairpins and combs. A great design with wonderful detail, including embossing on the white kimono collar.

Artist - Kunisada II (1823 - 1880)
Image Size - 14 1/8" x 9 1/2"
Condition - With excellent color and detail as shown. A few small holes, small tear at bottom edge, repaired, blends well. Creasing throughout, slight soiling, slight fraying at edges. Please see photos for details. Good overall.
