More about this artwork

The painting titled "Azumaya No Hana" by Kitagawa Utamaro is a delicate and expressive portrait typical of Utamaro’s renowned style, which vividly captures the beauty and subtlety of Japanese women during the Edo period. This artwork features a close-up depiction of a woman, primarily focusing on her face and upper torso. She is shown glancing sideways, with her lips slightly parted in a gesture that might suggest a moment of thought or contemplation.The woman's hair is elaborately styled in a traditional 'shimada' hairstyle, common in ukiyo-e portraits of women from this era, adorned with numerous hairpins that signify her beauty and possibly her status. The meticulous detailing of her hair contrasts with the soft, simplified features of her face, highlighting Utamaro’s skill in balancing detail and subtlety.Her kimono is lightly detailed, understated in comparison with the precision given to her hair, gently hinting at her elegance. The kimono slips slightly, lending a sense of movement and a glimpse of her neck, which was considered an area of allure in traditional Japanese aesthetics.The background of the painting is minimally styled, focusing the viewer's attention firmly on the subject herself.
