This woodblock print, "Four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter," is by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865). It is a vivid example of the *ukiyo-e* style, which depicts scenes of everyday life in Edo-period Japan, including the beauty of nature. The composition features a pair of figures, a woman reclining on a bed and a man seated beside her, likely representing the different seasons. Kunisada's work often included intricate details and vibrant colors, which are evident in the couple’s rich clothing and the striking background.
