EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman wiping sweat, 1798" by renowned artist Utamaro, Kitagawa (1753-1806) beautifully captures a moment of respite in the midst of a hot summer day. The image showcases an elegant Asian woman delicately dabbing her forehead with a handkerchief, her face glistening with perspiration. Utamaro's mastery of woodcut technique is evident in this fine art piece from the Edo period. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the essence of Japanese culture during that time. This genre painting falls under the ukiyo-e style, which translates to "pictures of the floating world" depicting scenes from everyday life. Housed within the esteemed collection of the State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, this print serves as a testament to Utamaro's enduring legacy and his contribution to Japanese art history. It offers viewers a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage and provides insight into societal norms and customs prevalent during that era. The photograph not only celebrates Utamaro's artistic brilliance but also highlights his ability to capture human emotions through his subjects' expressions and body language. It invites us to imagine ourselves in that very moment, feeling the heat on our skin while appreciating this exquisite work of art.
