Beauty Looking Back c. 1690

"Beauty Looking Back" is a woodblock print created by renowned Japanese artist Hishikawa Moronobu, circa 1690. The print depicts a beautiful woman dressed in a colorful kimono, with her head turned to look back over her shoulder. The delicate lines and detailed patterns of the kimono are characteristic of Moronobu's style, which influenced the development of Ukiyo-e, a popular genre of Japanese art that depicted everyday life. This print is considered a fine example of Moronobu's work, showcasing his mastery of detail and his ability to capture the beauty of the human form. The artwork is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, providing art enthusiasts with a glimpse into the world of Edo-period Japan.
