Kiyomizu Komachi from the series Little Seedlings: Seven Komachi is a 1803 by Kitagawa Utamaro, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows three women in a room with wooden floors and a lattice window. The woman on the left, kneeling, holds a fan and wears a pink robe with green trim. The middle woman, standing, holds a handkerchief and wears a brown outfit with black sashes. The woman on the right, reflected in a mirror, adjusts her hair under a black hat. Notice how the artist uses bold outlines and flat colors to create a simple yet expressive scene. The mirror adds depth, showing only part of the third woman’s face.
