青楼美人合|The Courtesan Kasugano Writing a Letter is a 1765 ink by Suzuki Harunobu, a Romanticism work, depicting writing, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman in bright red robes sitting on the floor. She’s holding a fan in one hand and a letter in the other, looking down as if she’s writing. Her hair is styled neatly, and she wears a simple headpiece. A small box sits beside her, and her clothes have dark patterns with green leaves. The artist used bold colors and clean lines to keep the scene simple but lively. The text at the top is in Japanese, adding a quiet detail to the image. Next, look up Suzuki Harunobu to see more of his work.
