Series; Eight Views of Tea Stalls in Celebrated Places
Oseyo of the Hiranoya Teahouse - Lovely portrait of the beauty Oseyo of the Hiranoya Teahouse holding a hand mirror while applying makeup. Her face is partially concealed by a fine bamboo blind, but Utamaro has artfully shown her reflection in the hand mirror. A masterful design, with beautiful detailing in the screen and her elegant hairstyle. A real Utamaro masterwork that is rarely seen in reprint.
