Typical Price
"Bathers" represents Onchi's figurative work, a less common subject in his oeuvre dominated by abstraction. As a sosaku-hanga artist, he designed, carved, and printed every impression himself in editions rarely exceeding 30. Figurative pieces in good condition typically sell for $2,000-$7,000, with museum exhibition provenance pushing values higher.
Description
One of Onchi's earliest prints, created during his student years. Female figures in a bathing scene show the influence of Post-Impressionism and Japanese nihonga traditions.
