"La Couturiere" is a drawing by the influential Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro (1753–1806). Created during his prolific period of 1790-1800, the artwork epitomizes Utamaro's talent in portraying everyday subjects with intricate details in Edo-era Japan.

"La Couturiere" features a woman seated while threading a needle, presenting a scene of a everyday life of a seamstress. The focus on female characters and their daily existence was a common theme for Utamaro, who gained acclaim for his bijinga, images of beautiful women. He is widely recognized for his innovative sensibility, focusing on women's psychology and lifestyle rather than only their physical appearance, as was typically the case during this period.

The woman in "La Couturiere" is depicted with graceful lines and soft colors that denote elegance and simplicity. Her facial expression is subtle, suggesting a sense of tranquility and peace. Yet, her focus on threading the needle indicates meticulous attention to detail, a distinctive trait of Utamaro's work that sets it apart from contemporaries.

"La Couturiere" provides a critical representation of Edo society, capturing the quiet precision and prestige associated with the role of a seamstress. Devoid of extravagant decoration or staging, the drawing emphasizes the pivotal role of women in manufacturing and trade at the time. From a broader perspective, "La Couturiere" is a testament to Utamaro's examination of Japanese social structures, gender roles, and aesthetics.

"La Couturiere" remains a widely studied artwork in the field of Japanese art history, regarded for its originality and reflective depiction of realities of the Edo period. It holds an integral position in Kitagawa Utamaro's body of work, furthering understanding of his style and the recurrent themes he pursued throughout his career.
