"Woman Putting on Make-up" is a notable woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753 – 1806), who is renowned for his contributions to the ukiyo-e genre of art during the Edo period. This work is part of Utamaro's extensive oeuvre that predominantly focuses on bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) and captures the everyday life, beauty, and fashion of women in 18th-century Edo (modern-day Tokyo). "Woman Putting on Make-up" exemplifies Utamaro's mastery in portraying intimate moments of female beauty rituals with a delicate and refined touch, emphasizing the elegance and grace of the subject.

The print is characterized by its intricate detail, subtle use of color, and the expressive portrayal of the woman's demeanor as she engages in the personal act of applying make-up. Utamaro's skill in using line and color to convey texture and depth is evident, making the artwork not only a representation of contemporary beauty standards and practices but also a testament to the artist's technical prowess and artistic sensitivity. The composition, focusing on the woman's facial expression and the meticulous depiction of her make-up tools, invites viewers into a private world, reflecting the broader cultural practices and aesthetic ideals of the time.

As a significant piece within Utamaro's body of work, "Woman Putting on Make-up" contributes to our understanding of the cultural and artistic landscape of Edo Japan. It remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of Japanese art, offering insights into the historical context of beauty, femininity, and the genre of ukiyo-e. Through this and similar works, Utamaro has left an indelible mark on the world of art, influencing not only contemporaries and successors in Japan but also artists and collectors in the West, contributing to the Japonisme movement of the late 19th century.
