About this work
Young man, sitting in front of a sliding door with a painting of a bird and pine tree, reading a letter while a girl watches him from behind the door. Left a view on the veranda with autumn branches in a vase, behind which rain. A poem in a cloud-shaped cartouche along the top edge of the print.
