The Heron Maiden Standing Beneath a Willow Tree is a 1890 by Suzuki Harunobu, a Impressionism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
The painting shows a woman standing under a willow tree. She's dressed in traditional Japanese clothes. This print is interesting because it was made from a design created about 100 years before it was printed, which is why the colors look so bright and fresh. The design was originally made by Suzuki Harunobu in the 1760s. The later printing gives it a unique look. You can compare this to work by artist Suzuki Harunobu.
Suzuki Harunobu produced the original design for this print in about 1766 to 1767. The brighter colors of this print, and in particular the unfaded color of the water indicates that it is of a later date.
