Woman in Summer Kimono
Hashiguchi Goyō Japanese
Not on view
The woman seated in front of a dressing table and mirror with a blue towel is the artist’s lover, Nakatani Tsuru. A dazzling modern beauty, she closely holds her sheer summer kimono and gazes at the viewer in a pose that pays homage to artist Kitagawa Utamaro (1753–1806). The fine flower-diamond patterns on the figure’s robe and the rendering of her hairline and body, visible through thin fabric, demonstrate Goyō’s exceptional skills.
