"Woman Fanning Herself After a Bath" is a *surimono* (a type of Japanese woodblock print) by the renowned artist *Isoda Koryūsai*. Created between 1767-1799, the print depicts a woman seated on a veranda, partially nude, fanning herself and enjoying the cool breeze after bathing. The work is characterized by delicate lines and soft colors, typical of Koryūsai's *ukiyo-e* style. The subject matter, a woman in a domestic setting, aligns with the genre's focus on everyday life and beauty. This *surimono* is currently part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
