Created by the talented artist Shunsho Katsukawa, this print measures 21.7x15.6 cm and is currently housed at the Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK. Part of a larger series depicting scenes from the renowned 11th-century novel Tales of Ise, this particular print showcases a lady courtier adorned in an exquisite kimono with a striking peony design. Her elegant posture is accentuated by her extended fan as she stands on a serene sea beach, framed by one solitary pine tree. The dominant color palette ranges from green to yellow-green, complemented by subtle shades of sepia brown and pale orange. The background features undulating waves crashing against rocky shores, creating a sense of movement and tranquility simultaneously.
