About the piece

Painted in 1894 by Edward Atkinson Hornel, this vibrant work showcases the artist's fascination with Japanese culture during his travels. The thick, mosaic-like brushwork characteristic of the Glasgow Boys style creates a rich texture that brings the harbor scene and the intricate details of the woman's attire to life.
