Painting Description
"Three Beauties of the Present Day" (現代美人三種の内) is a famous nishiki-e woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1793. This print is considered one of Utamaro's masterpieces and is exemplary of the bijinga genre, which focuses on images of beautiful women. The work depicts three celebrated beauties of the time: the teahouse waitress Naniwaya Okita, the courtesan Tomimoto Toyohina, and the wife of a merchant, Ohisa Takashima. Each figure is portrayed with distinctive features and attire that reflect their social status and personality, showcasing Utamaro's skill in capturing the subtleties of female beauty and expression.
The print is characterized by its elegant composition and the use of line and color that were hallmarks of Utamaro's style. The artist's ability to convey the fashion and culture of the Edo period (1603–1868) through the depiction of these women has made "Three Beauties of the Present Day" an iconic image representing the era. The work is also noted for its influence on the development of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished between the 17th and 19th centuries, which depicted the "floating world" of entertainment, pleasure, and urban culture.
"Three Beauties of the Present Day" has been widely reproduced and remains a subject of study for its artistic and historical significance. The original print is held in various museum collections around the world, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the British Museum in London. It continues to be celebrated for its portrayal of the idealized beauty of women in Edo society and for its impact on the art of ukiyo-e and Japanese aesthetics.
