$1,000–$12,000. Common subjects: $1,000–$3,000. Key value factors: Korean and Chinese subjects tend to be more collected than Japanese scenes.
This [oban](/glossary/oban) woodblock print bears the artist's own name as its title, indicating a catalog reference, self-portrait, or work whose original designation has been replaced by a collector or dealer attribution. Keith's body of work spans subjects from across Asia, and individual prints sometimes circulate under imprecise titles when separated from their original documentation. The oban format and woodblock medium are consistent with the bulk of Keith's published output, which was produced through collaboration with skilled Japanese block carvers and printers. Regardless of its title, the print carries the visual hallmarks of Keith's practice: vivid color, careful attention to cultural detail, and the particular quality of a Western artist working within a Japanese craft tradition.
