Vrouw schrijft een gedicht c. 1822 - 1827

"Vrouw schrijft een gedicht," or "Woman Writing a Poem," is a woodblock print created by Suzuki Kiitsu, a renowned Japanese artist, between 1822 and 1827. The artwork features a woman in traditional attire, sitting gracefully and intently composing a poem. Her posture and focused expression suggest the delicate art of writing, while the surrounding objects, like the potted plant, imply a tranquil and contemplative setting. This small-scale work, measuring just 206 mm by 173 mm, is a prime example of Kiitsu's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, known for its depictions of everyday life and beauty.
