EDITORS COMMENTS

The artwork, a colour woodblock print measuring 36.6 x 23.8 cm, is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, IL, USA. The image depicts two individuals engaged in an intimate embrace, showcasing the delicate beauty and elegance characteristic of Utamaro's style. A woman dressed as a geisha tenderly embraces a man while both are adorned in traditional kimonos that exude grace and sophistication. Utamaro's mastery is evident not only through his meticulous attention to detail but also through his ability to capture emotions within his subjects.
