City Girl left of a triptych of Three Beauties, 1830s, Mihata Jōryū, Japanese, act. 1830s, 10 7/16 × 11 7/16 in. (26.51 × 29.05 cm) (image)55 3/8 × 25 5/16 in. (140.65 × 64.29 cm) (mount, without roller), Ink and color on silk, Japan, Nikuhitsu ukiyo-e, Although they are unsigned, these three paintings exhibit the idiosyncratic style of artist Mihata Jōryūs beauties. At first glance their faces look similar, but Jōryū juxtaposes three types of femininity—a prostitute holding folded tissue paper, a geisha (entertainer) with a fan, and a city girl. Each one represents a different type of charm through her gesture and expression.
