AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Triptych of classical Japanese woodcuts (ukiyo-e) framed in a gold-colored frame, placed on a wooden sideboard. This type of print was very popular during the Edo period and focused mainly on depictions of daily life and fashionable ideals in urban culture.
From left to right, the specific artworks can be identified:
• Left print: A work by the famous master Kitagawa Utamaro (1753–1806). It shows two women in rich kimonos in a domestic setting, with Utamaro's specialty in portraying female beauty (bijin-ga) clearly evident.
- "Woman threading a needle and a girl playing with a box" (Hari ni ito tōsu onna to hako de asobu musume).
• Middle print: Also a design by Kitagawa Utamaro, titled Awabi-tori (Abalone divers or oyster divers), dating from circa 1797–1798. This specific scene shows one of the divers on the coast feeding her child beside a large wicker basket.
- "Abalone-diver on the coast feeding her child"
• Right print: A work by Isoda Koryūsai (1735–1790). It is from the celebrated series Hinagata wakana no hatsu moyō (Models for fashion: New designs as fresh as young leaves) and shows the courtesan Manshiu of the Manjiya house accompanied by her assistants (shinzo and kamuro).
- "The courtesan Manshiu of the Manjiya house" (Manjiya uchi Manshiu)
Dimensions of the prints: H 37 cm × W 25 cm
