A woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro, 'The Lady of Rokujo being Visited by the Princess Aoi' depicts two women in an interior setting, rendered with fine lines and muted colours typical of the ukiyo-e style.
Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806) was a prominent Japanese artist, best known for his ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings. He is considered one of the masters of the genre, particularly for his depictions of bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women). Utamaro's work often captured the refined elegance and fashionable life of women in the Edo period. His prints are characterised by their delicate lines, subtle colours, and expressive figures. He was skilled at portraying the emotions and personalities of his subjects, contributing to the development of individualised portraits within ukiyo-e. 'The Lady of Rokujo being Visited by the Princess Aoi' is a woodblock print depicting two elegantly dressed women in an interior setting. The scene is rendered with fine lines and muted colours, typical of Utamaro's style. One woman stands while the other sits behind a low partition. A flowering branch is visible outside the window. The print showcases the artist's skill in capturing the nuances of human expression and the refined atmosphere of the Edo period.

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.

inventing the close-up portrait in Japanese printmaking, turning Edo shopgirls into celebrities, and being manacled for fifty days over a print of the wrong ruler
