Double-page Illustration from Vol. 2 of "Picture Book of Spring Brocades (Ehon haru no nishiki)" 1771

This woodblock print, created in 1771 by renowned Japanese artist Suzuki Harunobu, depicts a woman gazing out a window at a scene of boats and birds on the water. The delicate brushstrokes and muted colors characteristic of Harunobu's style are on full display in this ukiyo-e print, showcasing the beauty of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. The print is part of a larger work, "Picture Book of Spring Brocades (Ehon haru no nishiki)," and serves as a testament to Harunobu's mastery of this popular artistic form.
