Label TextUtagawa Toyokuni Japanese, 1769-1825 Woman Standing in Wooden Enclosure Woodblock print on paper In addition to the lovely curved pose of this beautiful woman, the elegant but outrageous combinations of color and pattern in her clothing would have made this print, and so many Ukiyo-e, attractive and influential to Western artists like Toulouse-Lautrec.
