"Armwrestling between two Beauties" is a woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806). Utamaro was a prominent figure in the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese art, which flourished during the Edo period (1603–1868). This particular print is an example of Utamaro's mastery in depicting the bijin-ga, or "pictures of beautiful women," which became one of his most celebrated subjects.

The print captures a moment of playful competition between two women, engaged in an arm-wrestling match. It is characterized by Utamaro's delicate lines and attention to detail, particularly in the rendering of the women's facial expressions and the intricate patterns of their kimonos. The composition reflects a sense of intimacy and immediacy, inviting the viewer into the private world of the subjects.

"Armwrestling between two Beauties" is notable for its portrayal of the subjects' beauty and grace, even in the midst of a physical contest. This juxtaposition of elegance and strength is a common theme in Utamaro's work. The print also provides insight into the social interactions and entertainment among women during the Edo period.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Armwrestling between two Beauties" was likely produced through a collaborative process involving a publisher, artist, carver, and printer. The print's exact date of creation is uncertain, but it is generally attributed to the late 18th or early 19th century, during the height of Utamaro's career.

Today, "Armwrestling between two Beauties" is considered an important work within Utamaro's oeuvre and is studied for its artistic and cultural significance. It is held in various art collections and has been the subject of scholarly analysis in the context of Japanese art history and the representation of women in ukiyo-e.
