Painting Description
"Standing Courtesan, pub. 1710" is a notable woodblock print by Kaigetsudō Anchi, a prominent artist from the Kaigetsudō school of Japanese ukiyo-e painting and printmaking. Created in the early 18th century, this work exemplifies the genre's focus on the beauty and fashion of courtesans, a common subject in ukiyo-e art, which translates to "pictures of the floating world" and reflects the hedonistic culture of Japan's Edo period (1603–1868).
Kaigetsudō Anchi was known for his distinctive style, characterized by bold, curvilinear outlines and a dynamic sense of form, which is evident in "Standing Courtesan." The print portrays a full-length image of a courtesan, a figure of beauty and entertainment in the Yoshiwara pleasure district of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). She is depicted in an elaborate kimono with intricate patterns, which would have been a reflection of both her status and the fashion of the time. The courtesan's pose and expression are poised and reserved, capturing the idealized elegance and allure that were celebrated in the pleasure quarters.
The print is a fine example of the Kaigetsudō style, which is noted for its emphasis on strong outlines and limited use of color, relying instead on the contrast between the courtesan's figure and the blank background to draw attention to her form and attire. "Standing Courtesan, pub. 1710" not only provides insight into the aesthetics of the Edo period but also serves as a valuable historical document, offering a glimpse into the life and times of the courtesans who were an integral part of the period's urban culture.
As a work of art, "Standing Courtesan, pub. 1710" holds significance in the history of Japanese art and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic qualities and cultural representation. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of Kaigetsudō Anchi and the broader narrative of ukiyo-e prints, contributing to our understanding of the genre's development and the socio-cultural context of the Edo period.
