MWW Artwork of the Day (8/1/26) Suzuki Harunobu (Japanese, 1725–1770) Two Women in a Storm (c. 1764–72) Polychrome woodblock print, 26.4 x 20.6 cm. The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York (Howard Mansfield Collection)
The two young women in Harunobu's print are on their way to a bathhouse in the rain. The woman in front carries a bathrobe and a towel, an important clue about where they are going. Harunobu often enhances the narrative quality of his work with such a humorous touch.
