"The First of a Boatman Spying on a Couple" is a notable woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu, a distinguished Japanese ukiyo-e artist active during the Edo period. Harunobu is widely recognized for his pioneering role in the development of nishiki-e, or full-color prints, which elevated the art of woodblock printing with their intricate designs and rich palettes. This particular print is part of Harunobu's esteemed oeuvre and exemplifies his delicate and lyrical style, which often depicted the beauty of everyday life and the subtleties of human relationships.

Created in the 18th century, "The First of a Boatman Spying on a Couple" captures a voyeuristic moment that is both intimate and humorous, a common theme in ukiyo-e that reflects the pleasures and follies of the urban culture of the time. The print portrays a boatman peering at a couple, possibly suggesting a narrative of love or infidelity, a subject that would have resonated with the merchant class audience of the period. Harunobu's work is characterized by its elegant figures, attention to detail, and the use of kacho-e (bird-and-flower) motifs, which are often imbued with symbolic meaning.

As a significant piece of Harunobu's body of work, this print contributes to the understanding of the social and cultural context of the Edo period, as well as the artistic innovations that defined the golden age of ukiyo-e. The print remains an important artifact for scholars studying Japanese art history, particularly those interested in the evolution of printmaking techniques and the visual language of the ukiyo-e genre.
