Painting Description
"A Courtesan Assisting A Man With His Loin Cloth, Unsigned, Fine Impression, Gauffrage, Good Colour And Condition, Slight Wear To Right-hand Edge" is a notable example of Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock printing by the esteemed artist Suzuki Harunobu (c. 1725–1770). Harunobu is widely recognized for his pioneering contributions to the development of full-color printing, known as nishiki-e, which emerged in the mid-18th century during the Edo period. This particular print is emblematic of Harunobu's delicate and lyrical style, which often depicted the beauty and daily lives of courtesans and women in the pleasure quarters of Edo (modern-day Tokyo).
The artwork features a courtesan, a woman who was part of the licensed pleasure districts and was trained in various arts and entertainment, assisting a man with his loincloth, suggesting an intimate moment that is both candid and evocative. The print is characterized by its fine impression and gauffrage—a technique where parts of the print are embossed to give a sense of texture and depth. The coloration of the piece is described as good, indicating that the pigments have retained much of their original vibrancy, which is significant given the susceptibility of these prints to fading over time.
Despite being unsigned, the work is attributed to Suzuki Harunobu based on stylistic analysis and historical context. The condition of the print is noted to be good, with only slight wear to the right-hand edge, which is a common occurrence in woodblock prints due to the delicate nature of the paper and the process of printing.
As a reflection of Harunobu's artistry, this print not only offers insight into the cultural and social fabric of Edo-period Japan but also exemplifies the technical advancements in woodblock printing that have made Harunobu a celebrated figure in the history of Japanese art. The piece remains an important work for scholars and enthusiasts of ukiyo-e, contributing to the understanding of Harunobu's oeuvre and the broader artistic movements of the time.
