Detail shot from a painting of a shōjō standing on an over-sized saucer-style sake cup, using a very long-handled sake ladle to pole through a sea of what may be either sake or water. Painting; sumi ink & water colours(?) on paper with (what appear to be) fine flecks of mica. Signed & sealed as by kano tsunenobu (1636-1713); unverified, plausible (research needed!). Painting is loosely "kano school", & (at latest) 19th century or earlier (to accredited artist's lifetime). Private collection; fam. Wittig et cie. Working print of detail from the painting, for possible use in the relevant wikipedia articles - scans pending
