Hoofdstuk 23 1849 - 1850

This ukiyo-e woodblock print, *Hoofdstuk 23*, by Utagawa Kunisada (1786–1865) depicts a group of women in a brightly colored interior setting, likely a tea room. Created between 1849 and 1850, the print showcases Kunisada's mastery of depicting the beauty and elegance of Japanese women. The intricate details of the women's clothing, the ornate interior decor, and the subtle use of light and shadow contribute to the overall sense of tranquility and refinement. This work, now located in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies the vibrant and detailed style of Japanese woodblock prints.
