DescriptionA woman in a cross-patterned shirt, Mine Okubo, sits with her arms folded on a cot next to a pot-bellied stove. She is holding chopsticks in her right hand. Although Mine's space is partitioned by blankets, two people peek over it. Her cot is covered with books and papers; an extra pair of shoes are tucked under the cot, and a coat and shirt hang from the fabric panel. A pot sits atop the stove, and a bucket with wood scraps sits on the floor.;1 drawing on paper : ink ; image 9.25 x 13 in.
