丁子屋内雛鶴|The Oiran Hinazuru of Chojiya Standing upon a Pile of Futon is a 1794 ink by Kitagawa Utamaro, a Romanticism work, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows four women in a room. The woman on the right stands tall on a pile of futons, holding a fan. Two others stand beside her in long robes with floral patterns. One woman kneels on the floor, looking down. The background has a bare tree branch and a small lantern. The standing woman’s outfit is detailed with gold patterns, and her hair is styled high. The colors are soft—pinks, browns, and greens—with careful shading. Next, look up Kitagawa Utamaro to see more of his work.
