Belfry of Abhinis 8F (45.5 x 37.9cm) Written by Akira Nakajima

The composition, in which a woman stands in front of a bell tower, suggests that the work contains emotion and narrative.

She has a melancholy, indescribable look on her face.

This painting can be said to encourage the viewer to think through the woman's facial expressions and the atmosphere of the bell tower.
