Description
A horse rendered in woodblock, dated 1960 — a relatively late work that shows Urushibara maintaining his printmaking practice well into his career. The horse is among the most demanding animal subjects for a printmaker, requiring the capture of muscular power, fluid movement, and the specific quality of equine anatomy. Designated as version "C," this print likely belongs to a series of horse studies in different positions or treatments, a format common in Japanese printmaking traditions of natural observation.
