A woodblock print by Katsukawa Shuntei depicting a courtesan and her attendant beside a plum tree. The print showcases the delicate lines and flat perspective typical of ukiyo-e.
This woodblock print by Katsukawa Shuntei (active c. 1783-1820) depicts a high-ranking courtesan, or oiran, accompanied by a young attendant. The oiran, adorned in elaborate robes and hair ornaments, is shown in a graceful pose, her gaze directed downwards. Her kimono features a pattern of stylised flowers and geometric designs, rendered in muted tones of red, green, and brown. The child attendant, also dressed in fine clothing, kneels beside a potted plum tree, a symbol of resilience and renewal. The composition is characterised by its delicate lines and flat perspective, typical of ukiyo-e prints. Calligraphic inscriptions, likely poems or signatures, are present in the upper and lower left corners, adding to the work's aesthetic appeal. The print exemplifies the ukiyo-e tradition of portraying scenes from everyday life, particularly those of the pleasure quarters, with a focus on the beauty and elegance of the figures.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
