Description
A framed print of the famous Japanese woodblock print, "Three Beauties of the Present Day" (Tōji San Bijin), by artist Kitagawa Utamaro. The original work was created around 1792–93 during the Edo period in Japan. It depicts the profiles of three celebrity beauties of the time: geisha Tomimoto Toyohina, and teahouse waitresses Naniwaya Kita and Takashima Hisa. Utamaro was renowned for his bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) and this print is considered one of his representative early works, known for its delicate lines and sophisticated composition. The print is also known as "Three Beauties of the Kansei Era" or "Three Famous Beauties". H: 22" | W: 21.5" | L: 1" Good condition.
