AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A single sheet of a polychrome woodblock print from 1891 (Meiji 24), included in the collection Edo no Nishiki. In the lower-left there is the seal "Shoukei" and a red seal, and it is presumed to be by Yamada Shoukei.
The piece depicts a deer standing beside a group of trees, raising its head and calling. Delicate rendering of the branches and spots on its fur, combined with a sturdy trunk, grass at its feet, and wisteria blossoms hanging above. The pale coloring and generous margins convey the quiet atmosphere of a forest.
The same collection, Edo no Nishiki, is also housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Accession number: RP-P-2005-531.
Dimensions are about 24 × 32 cm. The album itself, its cover, and the colophon are not included; this is sold as a single sheet. 1891 is the publication year of the collection, but the actual print year for this sheet is unconfirmed.
There is a central vertical crease, and overall there is aging, such as foxing, light soiling, stains, and wear. In particular, a brown stain is present near the lower right. The edges are also damaged, so please refer to the photos for the condition.
Framing is not included.
