Lezende vrouw 20th century

This anonymous woodblock print, titled "Lezende Vrouw" (Reading Woman), depicts a woman in traditional Japanese dress, engrossed in reading. Her relaxed posture and serene expression suggest a moment of tranquility. The artist masterfully uses intricate lines to capture the texture of her clothing, creating a sense of depth and realism in the woodblock print, a popular art form in Japan during the 20th century. This artwork, part of the Rijksmuseum collection, offers a glimpse into the daily life of a woman in pre-modern Japan.
