Court Lady on Veranda 1796

"Court Lady on Veranda" is a woodblock print created by Japanese artist Kubo Shunman in 1796. The print depicts a woman in traditional clothing sitting on a veranda overlooking a garden. The composition is simple but elegant, with the woman's figure as the central focus. The use of muted colors and delicate lines gives the work a sense of tranquility and refinement, typical of Shunman's style. The print, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases Shunman's mastery of woodblock printing and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday life in Edo period Japan.
