Katsukawa Shunshō 勝川春章

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image features a Japanese woodblock print of a woman wearing a traditional kimono and hat. The woman stands facing right, her body angled slightly toward the viewer. She has dark hair styled in an updo, covered by a black hat with a yellow band. Her kimono is green with a floral pattern on the hem and a gray section on the back with white flowers. A pink and orange lining is visible on her sleeves. The background consists of a beige wall with a decorative wave pattern along the bottom section. The floor appears to be made of wood. The overall color palette is muted, with shades of beige, green, gray, pink, orange, and black. The print displays signs of aging, with visible wear and discoloration.
