Notes |
Clark 1992 A courtesan, accompanied by her 'kamuro', stands on a verandah, pulling up her skirts slightly at the front, perhaps preparing to put on the clogs now lying on the ground. She wears a purple 'uchikake' with a design of flowering 'kohone' plants beside a stream, over a red kimono with a pattern of plovers and waves. The large face, tilted forward and outlined in red (as always in Moromasa's paintings), has the characteristic long nose, downturned mouth and hair combed directly back from the forehead that are the hallmarks of his idiosyncratic style. The composition of a courtesan and attendant(s) standing or seated on the corner of the verandah of a house of pleasure is common in Moromasa's small 'oeuvre'; compare, for instance, Ota 1985, no. 14, and Ithaca 1966, no. 16. Literature: '(Hizo) Ukiyo-e taikan' ('Ukiyo-e Masterpieces in European Collections'), ed. Narazaki Muneshige. Vol. 1, Tokyo, Kodansha, 1987, BW no. 7. |

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag. |
