Young Woman Standing Beside a Pine Tree Within the Precincts of a Temple is a 1784 by Katsukawa Shunchō, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows a woman in a wide, flowing robe and a hat, standing outside a temple. She holds a fan in one hand and leans slightly against a red wooden pillar. The temple has ornate carvings and a tiled roof. A pine tree grows near the building, and the ground is made of stone steps. The woman’s robe has subtle patterns, and her pose looks relaxed but careful. The temple’s bright red contrasts with her muted colors, making her stand out.

Katsukawa Shunchō lived in Edo (now Tokyo) during the late 1700s, a time when floating-world prints—colorful scenes of theater, courtesans, and everyday life—were all the rage.
