Yasuo Kuniyoshi

Nude at Door
1928

A black and white etching of a woman standing in a doorway, partially draped in shadow. She appears contemplative or hesitant, holding the door open with her right hand and looking to her side. The woman's expression is enigmatic, and the artwork captures a moment that suggests a narrative or a story unfolding. The style is reminiscent of early 20th-century illustration, with strong contrasts and detailed shading.
