About this work

Geisha in an old-pink kimono, against a blue background with calligraphic texts. In the top left, a fan-shaped cartouche with the image of an actor. The print is a reference to old songs related to the pleasure quarters and kabuki theater. The calligraphy in the background is part of such a song.
