Ito Shinsui 伊東深水, Japanese, 1898 - 1972 (Artist)
A
leading painter and printmaker in Tokyo, Ito Shinsui specialized in portraits
of women that blended the Japanese genre painting with Western elements. In
this work, a woman in a robe sits on a patio as she trims her nails. Her hair,
face, and hands are rendered in great detail, revealing both outer appearance
and inner essence.
