Kitagawa Utamaro Japanese Woodblock Print Hour of the Sheep Daughter Sundial

About the Item

A beautifully composed and subtly colored Japanese woodblock print featuring two women, likely Geishas, with one leaning on a banister languidly with an opium pipe in hand. This work is by Kitagawa Utamaro and is titled "Hour of the Sheep (Hitsuji no koku)" and is from his daughter Sundial (Musume hidokei) and Bijin-ga (Beautiful women) series. This is likely a later printing of the original work done in the 18th century. From an impressive collection of Japanese artworks and prints (of which we will be listing other prints). Would be a great addition to any Japanese art or print collection or an eye-catching stand-alone accent piece once framed. Mat dimensions: 15.5" high, 10.5" wide Print: 12.5" x 8.75"
