Japan: 'Girl in a White Kimono'—an 1894 oil painting by George Hendrik Breitner.

Breitner was one of several European artists in the late 19th century who was intrigued by the East, Orientalism, or in this case, 'Japanism'. Breitner painted several canvases of girls in kimonos. The model appears relaxed but seductive. The studio is furnished with Eastern rugs and, behind the bed, a traditional Japanese screen.
