(Woman Standing by a River) c. 1810s

This woodblock print by Utagawa Kunisada, also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III, depicts a woman standing by a river, likely in Japan. Created in the 1810s, the print is an example of the *ukiyo-e* genre, which was popular during the Edo period in Japan. Kunisada was renowned for his depictions of beautiful women and the print showcases the vibrant colors and intricate details typical of his work. The woman's flowing kimono, patterned with delicate flowers, contrasts with the serene landscape behind her. This print, part of the *ōban* format, is a testament to Kunisada's skillful portrayal of the beauty of Japanese culture and nature.
