Description (Labels & Markings)
Handwritten label see with the painting reads 'LADY YEISEN HIROSHIGE. MOUNTAINS AND SEAS COMPARED TO WRESTLERS'. The other side of the label appears to be a wine list, and is thus unrelated to the painting.

Description (Physical description)
Simplistic Japanese painting depicting a woman painting on a canvas. There is little drawn surrounding the woman, only her painting tools, an item which could possibly be a mirror and a cushion which possibly connects to a canopy. The woman is wearing light blue-green robes and something around her neck which is red with white flowers. Her hair is up and there is a yellow band holding hair off of her face.
The back of the painting appears to have slight water damage and a potential ink spill in the bottom left hand corner.
