Original Toyokuni III/Kunisada (1786 - 1864) Japanese Woodblock Print
Cowering Beauty, 1859

Comments - Interesting kabuki scene of a trio in an interior, with a beauty cowering behind her sleeve as she kneels on the floor at left. In the center, a commoner looks at her with a sad frown as he tucks up the back of his striped kimono. A man sitting at right grimaces as he looks up at his companion, scratching the top of his head in a puzzled manner. A low folding screen behind him is decorated with woodblock prints. Nice expressive figures in a handsomely detailed setting.
