EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Ema (votive plaque) from the 19th century, created by a talented Japanese artist. The artwork depicts a woman expressing milk, beautifully rendered in pen and ink on paper. With her bare breasts gently exposed, she symbolizes the profound connection between motherhood and fertility. Ema plaques like this one were traditionally placed in Buddhist or Shinto temples as offerings accompanied by wishes for successful pregnancy or other desires. This particular piece is part of a private collection, showcasing its historical significance and artistic value. The intricate details of the drawing highlight not only the physical act of lactation but also convey a sense of tranquility and serenity. It serves as a powerful representation of femininity, medicine, obstetrics, and maternal health. As we admire this remarkable artwork captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, it reminds us of the timeless beauty found within ancient cultures. The image evokes emotions tied to nurturing instincts while celebrating the miracle of life itself.
