Description
A monochrome sumi-ink print mounted on a pale card shows two separate sketches: at left, a seated figure in a loose robe, viewed from behind and turned slightly toward the viewer, rendered in fine, loose brushline; at right, a taller composition of several standing and gesturing figures in flowing garments beneath overhead scaffolding or rigging lines, drawn in quicker, more agitated strokes. The linework throughout is calligraphic and unshaded, with no added color beyond the ivory tone of the paper. Kawanabe Kyosai, woodblock print, untitled, year unknown.
