This contemporary mixed-media work depicts a stylized standing geisha in traditional kimono and elaborate shimada hairstyle, rendered with bold black outlines and a vibrant palette of red, blue, and yellow. The artist has utilized a layered technique, incorporating what appears to be hand-applied pigment over a textured, burlap-like heavy paper ground. The piece is numbered "44/75" in the lower left and signed and dated "MW '86" in the lower right. It is presented in a wide, stepped wooden frame with a gold-tone finish and a textured black inner border.
