Marriage sari (patolu) From Goujarat, India

'Woman at her morning toilette', Japan, Edo period, c1800. Hanging scroll painting of a married woman engaged in her morning toilette. Her gaze is caught by the beauty of a potted morning glory. Her straight back topped by the rounded marumage hairdo forms a strong triangular composition with the plant, the copper water bowl and porcelain dish with toothbrush and mouthwash to the right. Utamaro was particularly skilled at using the patterns of textiles to indicate the shapes of bodies beneath; the lines of the checked blue outer-kimono suggest convincingly the woman's bended knee. The rougher blue and white checks of the under-kimono and towel give variety to the range of textures. The touches of red, especially around the naked knee, give a sensuality that is rarely missing from the works of Utamaro, a master at catching the moods of his female subjects, often in the more private moments of their lives.
JA, JP ADD380 (1965.7-24.04)
