Picture of the Middle Class - Lovely Utamaro reprint of two young middle class women relaxing during a moment of leisure. One kneels holding a fan, adjusting her hairpin. A man's black silk jacket, a love letter visible in the sleeve, is draped over the screen behind them, which features a design of swimming ducks. The two women admire a sweet rush plant in a basin of water. Beautiful soft color and fine detail in this handsome beauty print, including embossing in the fan and a touch of mica on the screen.
