Young Woman Preparing Tea
Miki Suizan Japanese
Not on view
Although Suizan studied Nihonga, or “Japanese-style painting,” certain Western influences can be seen in this work, especially in the three-dimensional depiction of the woman. The scene is presented in an ultrarealistic style, with careful attention given to the details on the tea implements, the smoke from the brazier, and the figure’s facial features and hair. The subject is the artist’s daughter, who lived in New York.
