Young Woman with a Pipe in Her Hand Gazing at Landscape Painted on a Screen 1725 - 1770

This ukiyo-e woodblock print, created by Suzuki Harunobu in the 18th century, depicts a young woman in a richly patterned kimono gazing at a landscape painted on a folding screen. The woman is seated on the floor, her posture relaxed and contemplative as she admires the scenery. The screen, depicting a mountainous vista, is a key feature of the composition, creating a sense of depth and framing the woman's gaze. Harunobu's signature style, known for its delicate lines and soft colors, is evident in the print, showcasing his mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to capture the beauty of everyday life in Edo-period Japan.
