Vrouwen bij de Ebisuya winkel c. 1842

"Vrouwen bij de Ebisuya winkel" (Women at the Ebisuya Shop) is a woodblock print from c. 1842 by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865). This colorful and detailed artwork showcases three figures: two stylishly dressed women in traditional garments, one with a fan in her hand, standing near the entrance of the Ebisuya Shop while a man with a fish basket is passing by. Kunisada is known for his depictions of beautiful women and this print is a fine example of his signature style, known as "bijin-ga." This particular print is part of the Rijksmuseum collection and is a valuable piece of Japanese art history.
