Two Young Women on a Veranda 1796

"Two Young Women on a Veranda" is a woodblock print created in 1796 by the renowned Japanese artist Kubo Shunman. This ukiyo-e print features two elegantly dressed women standing on a veranda overlooking a scenic landscape. The women's attire and the depiction of the veranda suggest a luxurious setting, possibly a teahouse or a private residence. The delicate brushstrokes and subtle use of color create a serene and tranquil atmosphere, typical of Shunman's artistic style. The print, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, showcases the beauty and sophistication of Japanese art during the Edo period.
