“Three Women Reading” by Uemura Shōen (1875 - 1949)

Uemura Shōen (1875 - 1949) pseudonym for the Japanese painter Uemura Tsune.

Watercolor on silk

Shōen is primarily known for her bijinga paintings of beautiful women in the nihonga style, although she also produced numerous works on historical themes and traditional subjects. In 1941 Shōen became the first woman painter in Japan to be invited to join the Imperial Art Academy and in 1948 was the first woman to receive the Order of Cultural Merit in Japan.
