Artist: Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865) Technique: Polychrome woodcut (ukiyo-e), ink and color on washi paper.Description: The work depicts an elegant woman sitting in a traditional Japanese interior. The figure is rendered in Kunisada's characteristic style: an idealized female portrait with a refined hairstyle and a richly decorated kimono. The color palette combines deep blues, soft pink tones and intricate textile details, reflecting the artist's mature aesthetic. The composition incorporates elements of Edo period daily life - low tables, ceramics and domestic architecture - creating an intimate and evocative scene. The print includes Kunisada's signature and two seals, in keeping with his established signature practice. Conditions The woodcut print presents the natural patina due to time, typical of works of art over a century old. The colors are well preserved, although slightly attenuated by time. The paper has light creases and localized surface marks, typical of historical ukiyo-e prints. The frame is old and has not been opened from the back; the work was preserved behind glass. Provenance From a private Austrian collection. The detailed history of the property is unknown, but the assembly and materials are consistent with long-term historic preservation.
