Anekawa Daisuke as Ayame-no-mae is a 1760 by Torii Kiyomitsu, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This print shows a woman in a long, flowing robe with floral patterns. She wears a tall, ornate hat and holds a fan in one hand. Behind her, a tree branch with green leaves and white flowers curves across the top. The background is mostly plain, letting her clothes and the branch stand out. Her robe has a big circle on the front with a flower inside, and her sleeves are wide and decorated. The colors are soft—pinks, greens, and browns—with black lines defining the shapes. The artist used simple lines to create depth and detail. Look up Torii Kiyomitsu next to see more of his work.
