Three Beauties of the Present Day

Kitagawa Utamaro

Painted
c. 1793
Collection
Museum of Fine Arts, Boston

Three celebrated beauties of Edo, the teahouse daughters Okita and Ohisa and the geisha Toyohina, arranged in a triangle in Utamaro's most famous print. The faces look alike at first, but eyes, noses and brows differ just enough for contemporaries to tell them apart. A background dusted with mica glitters to set off the figures.
