Twee vrouwen tijdens een zomeravond 1788 - 1792

This woodblock print by Torii Kiyonaga, titled "Twee vrouwen tijdens een zomeravond" (Two Women on a Summer Evening), depicts two women in a relaxed setting. One woman lounges on a verandah while the other sits within a room, fanning herself. The vibrant colors and elegant lines are characteristic of the ukiyo-e style popular in 18th-century Japan, which often featured scenes of everyday life and beauty. The work, created between 1788 and 1792, is a fine example of Kiyonaga's masterful use of line and color to capture the fleeting beauty of a summer evening. It can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
