A woman in a kimono stands beside a paper lantern, one hand holding a paddle, drawn in quick, economical ink strokes. The lantern and the paddle together suggest a riverside or boating scene, a subject common in Japanese pictures of evening pleasures. Sketches like this one were often made as studies or as quick records of everyday life, and they show how artists of the period valued suggestion over detail. The loose line and open space reward a slow look, since much of the image is left for the viewer to complete.
