Child

A portrait study of a young child, this 1927 print reveals a warmer, more intimate register within Yoshida's largely landscape-focused output. The child's face is rendered with careful attention to the softness of youth — round cheeks, wide eyes — in a style informed by his Western academic figure training. The print sits within a small group of domestic and figurative subjects from the mid-1920s that suggest Yoshida's interest in depicting the full range of human experience, not only grand natural scenery.
