"Une Courtisane Retenu Par Un Autre Ronin" is a notable woodblock print by the acclaimed Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806), who is renowned for his portraits of beautiful women, or bijin-ga, in the ukiyo-e genre. This particular piece is part of Utamaro's extensive oeuvre that captures the life and expressions of women in the Edo period (1603–1868), often focusing on the courtesans and inhabitants of the pleasure quarters.

The title of the work, which translates to "A Courtesan Held Back by Another Ronin," suggests a narrative scene involving characters from the demimonde of Edo-period Japan. A courtesan, or high-class prostitute, is depicted in a moment of interaction with a ronin, a masterless samurai. The term "retenu" implies that the courtesan is being restrained or held back, which could indicate a moment of drama or emotion that Utamaro was known to skillfully portray.

Utamaro's mastery of line and color is evident in this print, where he employs the delicate and intricate techniques of the ukiyo-e tradition. His work is characterized by a refined elegance and an expressive sensitivity to the subtleties of human emotion and beauty. "Une Courtisane Retenu Par Un Autre Ronin" exemplifies these qualities, making it a significant piece within Utamaro's body of work and a valuable example of Edo-period art.

As with many ukiyo-e prints, this work would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, the carver, the printer, and the publisher. The print would have been used to depict contemporary urban culture, entertain, and sometimes serve as a form of advertisement for the courtesans represented.

Utamaro's influence extended beyond Japan, contributing to the Japonisme movement in Europe during the late 19th century, where his work inspired many Western artists with its distinct style and aesthetic. "Une Courtisane Retenu Par Un Autre Ronin" not only offers insight into Japanese art and culture but also stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Utamaro's artistic vision.
