More about this artwork

This painting is a beautiful example of woodblock print art from the famous Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro, who was known for his exquisite portraits of women. Titled "Seiro Niwaka Onna Geisha No Bu Tojin Shishi Sumo," it translates to a scene involving geisha entertainment at the Seiro (an area in the Yoshiwara pleasure district of Edo, present-day Tokyo).The artwork features three women, likely geishas, depicted with delicate, attentive detail typical of Utamaro's work. The woman on the left is holding a small, closed fan and what appears to be a stringed instrument, perhaps a shamisen, indicating a musical or performance element which was a common aspect of geisha entertainment. The central figure stands out with an elaborate hat decorated with a floral arrangement, lending her an air of elevated status or perhaps a role as the main performer or hostess. The woman on the right is holding a fan and appears to be interacting with the central figure, possibly adjusting a decorative item or her hairpin.Their facial expressions convey a serene engagement, and their elaborate kimonos are adorned with varied patterns, suggesting individuality and status.

During the Edo period in Japan, Kitagawa Utamaro (1753–1806) was the most famous creator of Ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings. Kitagawa was famous for painting beautiful Japanese women and illustrations of nature, birds being his favorite subject. His artworks also influenced European Impressionists in the mid-nineteenth century.
