"Courtesan in Moonlight" is a woodblock print by Keisai Eisen (1790–1848), a Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his bijin-ga (pictures of beautiful women) and landscapes. Eisen was a contemporary of the more famous Hokusai and Hiroshige and was particularly renowned for his portrayals of the "floating world," or ukiyo, which depicted the pleasure quarters and the theater district of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).

The print "Courtesan in Moonlight" is part of Eisen's larger body of work that focuses on the lives and fashions of courtesans, who were considered the epitome of beauty and elegance in Edo-period Japan. These women were not only sexual companions but also trendsetters in fashion and culture, often educated and skilled in the arts.

In this particular print, Eisen captures the ethereal beauty of a courtesan under the soft glow of the moonlight. The composition typically features the courtesan adorned in a richly patterned kimono, her hair elaborately styled, suggesting her high rank and status within the pleasure quarters. The use of light and shadow, as well as the intricate detailing of the textiles and the courtesan's accessories, are indicative of Eisen's meticulous style and his ability to convey texture and depth.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Courtesan in Moonlight" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, who designed the image; the carver, who cut the woodblocks; the printer, who applied the ink to the blocks and pressed them onto paper; and the publisher, who financed the production and distributed the prints.

The artwork serves as a valuable historical document, providing insight into the fashion, beauty standards, and cultural practices of the Edo period. It also reflects the transient nature of beauty and pleasure, central themes in ukiyo-e art. "Courtesan in Moonlight" is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its contribution to the understanding of Japanese art and culture during a period of great urbanization and cultural development.

As a work of art, "Courtesan in Moonlight" exemplifies Eisen's skill in capturing the allure and nuanced expression of the courtesan, making it a significant piece within the genre of ukiyo-e and an important part of Eisen's artistic legacy.
