- The effect of the colors in this print enhances the charm of the youthful model, who looks intently into a hand mirror as she applies lip rouge with a brush. Although the pattern on the kimono is quite similar to that of the garment in Woman Holding a Towel (see F1993.52), the differences in color selection produce markedly different images. In contrast to the print exhibited to the right, which has a trace of implied shading on the sleeves of the garment, this print follows more closely the conventional flat coloration of traditional Japanese prints.
