Woman and Maid Servant

Suzuki Harunobu

Cleveland Museum of Art

A woman and a maid servant are in a room. The woman on the left stands and faces right. She has a large peach-colored kimono with a long train decorated with cherry blossoms. Her kimono has green and beige accents. Her hair is pulled back into a chignon with two loops on either side. The maid servant on the right sits on the floor on her knees, also facing right. She wears a green kimono with pink accents. A thin yellow-framed window with rice paper panes is behind them; the window has a bench with a potted plant on it. A tall, dark-red wooden object covered in a beige cloth is on the left. Japanese characters are written in black ink at the top and vertically on the left side. A bird with outstretched wings flies behind the wooden object. The background is beige.
