Title: The Head Portrait of a Beautiful Courtesan of Edo, Circa 1800-1868. A Silk Ukiyo-E Painting of a Bijin-ga from the Late Edo Period
Condition: Very Good

A Late Edo Period, 19th century silk ukiyo-e painting of a beautiful courtesan or geisha of Edo Period Japan, wearing a heavily detailed kimono, and with Kanzashi decorating her hair.

There is an inscription and artist seal, both of which I cannot identify.

The painting has been neatly mounted onto a brocade decorated kakejiku (hanging scroll), with jikusaki (knobs) made of wood.

One silk painting mounted on a kakejiku (hanging scroll), 156.5 x 50 cm full size, 66.5 x 41 cm main painting

This painting is in very good shape, with very light ink staining and wear to the painting, and a bit of discoloration to the left side margin. A bit of the outer scroll cover has worn away.
