Head of a Beauty 1815 - 1835

"Head of a Beauty" is a woodblock print created by renowned Japanese artist Keisai Eisen between 1815 and 1835. The print, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases a close-up portrait of a beautiful woman, her features rendered with meticulous detail. Her large eyes, delicately shaped eyebrows, and slightly parted lips are framed by a meticulously styled black hair, emphasizing a timeless image of feminine beauty. This work is a prime example of Eisen's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, capturing the essence of Japanese beauty and the captivating allure of the Edo period.
