"At the Dressing Table" is a distinguished woodblock print from the series "Encounters with Elegance" (Fūryū iro masukagami), created in 1812 by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kikukawa Eizan (1787–1867). This work exemplifies Eizan's mastery in portraying the beauty and sophistication of women in the Edo period, a theme central to much of his oeuvre. Eizan, a pupil of the celebrated artist Kikukawa Eishō, emerged as a pivotal figure in the early 19th century, particularly known for his bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) prints. "At the Dressing Table" captures a moment of intimate elegance, depicting a woman engaged in the personal act of grooming, a common motif in ukiyo-e that reflects the period's fascination with the daily lives and private moments of courtesans and women of the Yoshiwara district.

The print is characterized by Eizan's refined use of color and line, demonstrating the sophisticated techniques of the ukiyo-e tradition. His ability to convey texture and the intricate patterns of the woman's kimono showcases the artist's attention to detail and his dedication to representing the height of fashion and beauty of his time. The series "Encounters with Elegance" is notable for its exploration of feminine beauty and grace, with each print offering a glimpse into the nuanced social and cultural practices surrounding women in Edo society.

"At the Dressing Table" not only serves as a significant example of Eizan's artistic skill but also provides valuable insight into the cultural and historical context of early 19th-century Japan. Through works like this, Eizan contributed to the evolution of the bijinga genre, influencing subsequent generations of ukiyo-e artists. This print remains an important piece within the broader narrative of Japanese art, reflecting the enduring allure and complexity of the ukiyo-e tradition.
