Woman After Bath 1920

"Woman After Bath" is a woodblock print from 1920, created by the Japanese artist Goyo Hashiguchi. The print depicts a woman in a contemplative pose, her back to the viewer, as she wraps a blue patterned cloth around her body after bathing. Hashiguchi was a prominent artist in the shin-hanga movement, known for its revival of traditional woodblock printing techniques. This particular print exemplifies Hashiguchi’s signature style, characterized by soft colors, delicate lines, and graceful compositions. The print beautifully captures the sensuality of the human form and the tranquility of a post-bath moment.
