Europese vrouw met geit 1823

This woodblock print, titled "Europese vrouw met geit" (European Woman with Goat), was created in 1823 by the Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei (1790-1850). The print showcases a European woman in traditional clothing, holding a leash attached to a goat. This detailed portrayal of a foreign figure in the artist's signature style is typical of the "ukiyo-e" genre, which thrived in Edo period Japan and depicts everyday life and popular scenes, often with a humorous twist. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print, preserved in the Rijksmuseum collection, are testament to the skill of the artist.
