This color woodblock print from Utamaro's working years presents a bijin-ga subject without a title that identifies a specific individual or series. The work exemplifies the genre in its most distilled form: a woman rendered with care for the particulars of her physiognomy, dress, and emotional bearing, without the framing apparatus of a named series or venue. Such prints circulated widely as single-sheet works throughout the Edo period.
