Description
Hirano Hakuho's Kagami no Mae, or Before the Mirror, shows a kimono-clad beauty at her dressing table, the red and white pattern of her robe glowing against a pale ground. Vertical Japanese text and a seal mark this refined 1932 shin-hanga portrait. Quietly intimate and beautifully composed.
