This woodblock print, created by renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro in 1790, depicts a scene of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. The composition focuses on two women standing near a sliding screen in a traditionally decorated room, with the figures of additional guests visible through a second screen in the background. This piece showcases Utamaro's characteristic "bijin-ga" style, known for its idealized portrayals of beautiful women and meticulous attention to detail in depicting clothing and surroundings. The print is a prime example of the artist's mastery of the "ukiyo-e" genre, which captured the fleeting beauty of the Edo period.
