Seated Woman Washing Clothes in a Wooden Tub is a 1825 by Utagawa Kunisada, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This woman sits cross-legged on a wooden floor, scrubbing clothes in a tub. Her dark hair is pinned up, and she wears a loose, patterned robe in muted blues and greens. Behind her, a red curtain and a small wooden pillar frame the scene, while a patterned cloth hangs on the wall. The diagram in the top corner looks like a floor plan with numbered spots—maybe a game or a map. The artist used bold outlines and flat colors, with no deep shadows.
