介绍（中）	与标准的Kaigetsudō-atelier构图模式不同，Doshin在这里描绘的是坐着写一封信的对象，毫无疑问是写给一位特殊的客户。十七世纪末和十八世纪初，宫廷阅读或写信成为浮世绘画家的热门题材，其起源可以追溯到京都或江户娱乐区内描绘男女人物的更复杂的风俗屏风和手卷。这位女士衣服上色彩鲜艳的花朵图案有效地衬托出粉笔白色的信纸、她精致的双手和她丰满的脸。这些服装用浓重的深色墨水勾勒出轮廓，这是Kaigetsudō工作室制作的作品的共同特点正如所有其他的安藤开元继承人一样，多辛在这部作品上署名为"松子"（意为"最后一片叶子"）。印章上似乎写着"Ando"，事实上，许多Kaigetsudō艺术家继续使用工作室创始人的印章。
介绍（英）	Departing from the standard Kaigetsudō-atelier compositional formula of depicting courtesans standing and otherwise unoccupied, here Doshin depicts his subject seated and writing a letter, no doubt to a special client. Courtesans reading or writing letters became a popular subject for ukiyo-e painters of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth century, and its origins may be traced to more complex genre screens and handscrolls depicting male and female figures within the pleasure district of Kyoto or Edo. The brilliantly colored floral pattern of the woman’s clothes effectively sets off the chalk-white expanses of the letter paper, her delicate hands, and her plump face. The garments are outlined in heavy strokes of dark ink, a feature common to compositions produced in the Kaigetsudō studio. As did all other successors of Kaigetsudō Ando, Doshin signed his name on this work as “Matsuyō” (meaning “last leaf”) of Kaigetsudō. The seal appears to read “Ando,” and indeed many Kaigetsudō artists continued to use the seal of the studio’s founder.
