Figure descriptions
A girl holds a kitten up to her chest and leans her head against its back. A dog sits
on a chair next to the girl and looks up
at her. There is a small table with a table cloth beside her. A vase with flowers
sits on top of the table. There is a decorated
folding screen behind the girl. Full-page illustration contained in a single-ruled
border.
The hand-drawn poem title, “On the Last Day of the Year”, is contained within a rectangular
border. An hourglass is placed
between the words “last” and “day”. The rectangular border is partially surrounded
by flowers, leaves, and other foliage. The plants
break the border along the top edge. On both the left and right sides, the plants
extend down the page to form a partial border
around the first section of the poem text. The poem and the plants are separated by
faint vertical lines. 1/4 page.
