The artwork titled “Women” is a portrait by the esteemed artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a prominent figure in the Ukiyo-e art movement.
This striking piece of art portrays a woman, skillfully depicted, in a traditional Japanese setting. The intricate details of her clothing reflect the elegance and sophistication typical of Ukiyo-e prints. She is seated on a small boat, adorned in a vibrant kimono with elaborate floral patterns.
