About the piece

Painted in 1910 by Walter Crane, this gouache and watercolor work reflects the early 20th-century fascination with Japanese aesthetics. The subject's intricately patterned blue robe serves as a brilliant focal point against the impressionistic treatment of the garden, where soft strokes of summer flowers create a rich, textured environment.
