Musashi, Omi, Yamashiro, and Settsu Provinces from the series Fashionable Six Jewel Rivers (Furyu Mu Tamagawa) is a 1804 by Kitagawa Utamaro, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This painting shows four women dressed in long robes and tall black hats, walking along a riverbank. Each woman carries different items—one holds a fan, another a fan-shaped object, and a third has a child. The background has wavy water, plants, and a few small figures sitting or crouching. The colors are soft and muted, with some bright reds and greens in the robes. The women’s outfits look elegant and detailed, with patterns and folds that stand out. The scene feels calm, like a quiet moment in nature. If you like this style, check out The Cleveland Museum of Art for more works by the artist.
