Painting Description
"Servant Making Tea" is a woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a Japanese ukiyo-e artist known for his delicate and lyrical prints. Harunobu was active during the Edo period and is credited with pioneering the multi-colored print (nishiki-e), which allowed for a more intricate and vibrant use of color in ukiyo-e art. His work often depicted the beauty of young women and the pleasures of life in Edo (modern-day Tokyo).
The print "Servant Making Tea" is a fine example of Harunobu's style, showcasing his skill in capturing the grace and subtlety of everyday moments. It portrays a young female servant, known as a kamuro, engaged in the act of preparing tea. The kamuro were typically young girls who assisted courtesans in the pleasure quarters, and they are a common subject in ukiyo-e prints, reflecting the fascination with the floating world's culture.
In this piece, Harunobu uses soft lines and a muted palette to create a sense of tranquility and poise. The servant's gentle posture and focused expression convey a sense of serenity and dedication to her task. The print is likely to have been part of a larger series, as was common for Harunobu's work, which often explored themes of beauty and daily life through a sequence of images.
"Servant Making Tea" is not only a reflection of Harunobu's artistic talents but also provides insight into the cultural practices and social structures of Edo-period Japan. The print is a valuable piece for scholars and enthusiasts of Japanese art, offering a window into the past and the aesthetic sensibilities of the time.
As with many ukiyo-e prints, the exact date of creation for "Servant Making Tea" is not always clear, but it is generally attributed to the mid-18th century, during the height of Harunobu's career. Today, the print is considered an important work within Harunobu's oeuvre and is studied for its technical mastery and its contribution to the development of full-color printing in Japan.
