Courtesan in a red kimono, Edo period, 1800-1825. She stands in the upstairs room of a brothel. She wears a red outer kimono, an obi (sash) with a chrysanthemum design and a blue robe. This painting come from a series of Japanese genre scenes in an unusual Western-influenced style. They ere probably intended for export and commiss- ioned by the collector Philip Franz von Siebold and others. The paintings feature domestic and street scenes including sumo-wrestlers, children and beggars.
