Description
Thirsty: the appearance of a town geisha, a bar girl, in the Ansei era, No. 22 from the series: Thirty-Two Aspects of Women
The title town geisha suggests the lower status of this plainly dressed young woman. Rather than dancing and entertaining, she is mostly assigned to serving drinks. In this scene she is on her knees turning left towards a customer with a cup of sake in her hand. Her face is slightly flushed with pink around the eyes, suggesting that she enjoys drinking sake herself, as she smiles cheerfully. A charming design, finely detailed, with burnishing in the black kimono collar.
14 1/4 x 9 1/2 + margins
