EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Servant Applying Medicinal to Geishas Arm" was created by the talented artist Kitao Shigemasa in the late 18th century. The artwork belongs to the Edo period, a time of great artistic flourishing in Japan. The scene depicts a geisha being attended to by her servant, who is gently applying medicinal lotion on her arm. The careful and delicate gesture of the servant showcases their dedication and expertise in caring for their mistress's well-being. Both figures are beautifully dressed in traditional Japanese attire, adding an element of elegance and grace to the composition. Shigemasa's skillful use of ink and color on paper brings life to this snapshot from history. The vibrant colors used throughout the print highlight the beauty of both individuals' skin tones as well as their intricate garments. This piece not only captures a moment between two individuals but also provides insight into the profession and daily lives of geishas during this time period. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and its appreciation for artistry. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this woodblock print stands as a reminder of Shigemasa's talent and his contribution to ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world". Its presence allows us to appreciate both historical context and aesthetic beauty while offering glimpses into a fascinating era in Japanese history.
