A colour woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro, 'Girls Picking Green Leaves' depicts women gathering leaves in a field. The print showcases the refined beauty and fashionable life of women in urban Japan, rendered in soft colours and delicate lines.
This colour woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806), titled 'Girls Picking Green Leaves', is from the illustrated book 'Flowers of the Four Seasons'. Utamaro was a leading Japanese artist of the Ukiyo-e style, which flourished from the 17th through 19th centuries. He is particularly known for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). His work captured the refined beauty and fashionable life of women in urban Japan. The print depicts two groups of women gathering green leaves in a field. On the left, two standing women are shown, one holding a pipe and the other carrying a basket filled with leaves. To the right, another group is depicted with one woman seated and reaching out to a child who is also picking leaves. The composition is balanced, with the figures arranged to create a sense of depth and movement within the flat picture plane. The colour palette is muted, with soft yellows, greens, and pinks, typical of Ukiyo-e prints. The figures are outlined with delicate lines, and the details of their clothing and hairstyles are carefully rendered.

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.
