Keiga, Kawahara (1786-after 1859)

attributed to: Genre Scene of Courtesan. Japan. Edo period, ca. 1800-25 CE. In the upstairs room of a brothel a courtesan stands in the foreground, wearing a red outer kimono, an obi (sash) with a chrysanthemum design and a blue robe over these. The bright colours of her clothing stand out in contrast against the pale colours of the walls and floor. Both the careful, geometrical perspective of the room and the precise description of the figures show the influence of Western technique, and suggest a high degree of contact with foreigners. 22.8 x 19.5 cm. Inv. AC 1993,1020.0.1.
