Description
A woodblock print depicting a sculpting scene — either the act of sculptural creation or the study of sculptural subjects — in a subject less common in Shuntei's usual domestic and genre output. The specific identification is uncertain, but the sculptural context suggests either a Western-influenced artistic subject reflecting Meiji modernization's engagement with Western fine arts, or a traditional craft scene of carving or modeling. Either way, the subject reflects the period's expanded range of printmaking themes.
