Description
This woodblock print is catalogued with a corrupted title entry and lacks reliable series or date attribution. Based on medium and artist, it falls within Utamaro's extensive output of bijin-ga and related figure studies from the late Edo period. Works without legible titles in institutional catalogues sometimes preserve important visual information even when textual metadata has been lost or damaged.
