Note on the artist: Chikanobu is best known for his woodblock prints and is regarded as one of the last masters of ukiyo-e in the second half of the 19th century, bridging the gap between traditional ukiyo-e and the new shin-hanga movement of the early 20th century.
He is recognised as a master of Bijinga – images of beautiful women – which can be seen in this painting.
