About the piece
Painted in 1908 by Fujishima Takeji, this oil portrait showcases the artist's masterful blending of Western Impressionist techniques with a sophisticated East Asian sensibility. The composition is defined by the striking contrast between the delicate, light-filled lace veil and the graphic weight of the black fan, creating a work of quiet but powerful presence.
