This print is also known in English as "Woman in a Black Gauze Hood" and is from an untitled series of beauties compared to flowers by Chōkōsai Eishō. Eishō was a student of Japanese ukiyo-e artist Chōbunsai Eishi and a rival of Utamaro. The woman in this picture is compared to a peony, and seems to be smiling at someone or something out of frame. This reproduction shows us much more of the hair and collar of the courtesan than the original print, which featured a more "solid" black pigment for the veil. Some have pointed out that the "veil", which has been printed using nunomezuri (fabric glued to a woodblock and blind-embossed to replicate the pattern on the print), may in fact be a kind of mosquito net for the neck and head.

This is a reproduction of a print probably originally published by Yamaguchiya Chûemon (Chûsuke) in the 1790s.
