Vrouw op balkon 1852 - 1856

"Vrouw op balkon" (Woman on a Balcony) is a woodblock print created by Utagawa Kunisada in 1852-1856. The print depicts a woman standing on a balcony overlooking a landscape, with a couple walking in the distance. Kunisada, a prolific artist of the Edo period, was known for his ukiyo-e prints featuring beautiful women, actors, and kabuki plays. This print showcases the artist's talent for detail and dynamic composition, capturing the serene atmosphere of a Japanese garden. The intricate patterns on the woman's kimono and the delicate details of the landscape further enhance the visual appeal of this artwork, currently housed in the Rijksmuseum.
