Skeletons gleefully cavort about the heavy robes of a courtesan on this impressive silk painting dating from late 19th to early 20th century Japan (Meiji to Taisho period). Ink on silk in a rough patterned silk border with suitable bone rollers. It is 64.5 x 224 cm (26 x 88 inches) and is in overall fine condition wit some toning typical of age.
