"Courtesan and Shinzō" is a woodblock print from the 18th century created by the renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu. The artwork depicts two women, one a courtesan, in a domestic setting, likely a teahouse or a private home. The woman on the left appears to be leaving, while the other woman is kneeling and seems to be preparing something, possibly tea. The inclusion of a crane in a painted screen behind the figures adds a symbolic element to the composition, likely referencing longevity, beauty, and grace. The vibrant colors, detailed patterns on the women’s clothing, and delicate lines of Harunobu's style capture the beauty and elegance of the Edo period.
