"Lover Taking Leave of a Courtesan" is a woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a Japanese ukiyo-e artist renowned for his delicate and innovative works, particularly in the development of nishiki-e, or multi-colored prints. Created during the Edo period, this print is part of Harunobu's oeuvre that often depicted scenes of beauty and daily life, including the intimate moments of courtesans and their lovers within the pleasure quarters.

The print captures a poignant moment as a lover discreetly departs at dawn, a common theme in ukiyo-e that reflects the transient nature of pleasure and the complexities of relationships within the licensed quarters. The courtesan, often a figure of both beauty and pathos, is shown in a state of quiet emotion, which is a testament to Harunobu's skill in portraying subtle expressions and interactions between figures.

Harunobu's work is characterized by a refined use of line and color, which is evident in "Lover Taking Leave of a Courtesan." The artist's innovative technique allowed for a wider range of color and finer detail than previously possible, contributing to the evocative atmosphere and the tender human sentiment expressed in the print. Harunobu's prints, including this one, were highly influential and contributed significantly to the development of the full-color printing technique that became a hallmark of ukiyo-e and Japanese woodblock prints.

As a piece of Harunobu's celebrated portfolio, "Lover Taking Leave of a Courtesan" not only offers insight into the cultural and artistic practices of the Edo period but also stands as a significant work within the history of Japanese art. It reflects the themes of fleeting beauty and the bittersweet nature of love that are central to the ukiyo-e genre, making it a valuable subject of study for art historians and enthusiasts alike.
