Japoneze is a 1850 unspecified by Mutzner Samuel, depicting Hand Fan, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting, Japoneze, depicts a woman in traditional Japanese attire, including a kimono. She is shown from the waist up, with her head turned to the right and her face blurred. The background of the painting is a muted, neutral color. The woman's kimono is a deep, rich purple and features a subtle pattern of red and white flowers. Her hair is styled in an updo, and she wears a small, delicate hand fan in her right hand. The overall effect of the painting is one of serenity and elegance.

Samuel Mutzner kept a studio so cluttered his neighbors thought he was hoarding broken furniture—turns out it was half-finished prints drying on broomsticks and coats.
