In 1905 Li went to Japan to study at the Tokyo School of Fine Art in Ueno Park, where he specialized in Western painting and music, and met a mistress named Yukiko who would become his concubine.
This sensually painted girl on this naked portrait may be Yukiko. The naked Japanese woman's body is lightly portrayed in a chair. The erotic nude model seems to sleep with a cloth around her waist and a fan in her hand. Because she stands topless on the portrait, her torso, breasts and shoulders are depicted.
