Typical Price
A contemplative domestic scene, this reading figure reflects the quiet intimacy that characterizes Capelari's best figure work. His total output of roughly 24 designs ensures that every subject is scarce. Pre-earthquake impressions bearing the small 6mm circular Watanabe seal sell for $4,000-$9,000; later printings range $1,800-$3,500.
Description
A woman absorbed in reading, shown in a contemplative indoor setting with soft lighting.
