Subject:Japanese Woodblock - Identification Help!
Posted By: Mandi Sat, Sep 03, 2022 IP: 173.19.191.36 I am looking for any help with identification of age and artist. Thank you! |

Posted By: Madria Sun, Sep 04, 2022 Based on subject (bijin-ga; translates roughly to 'pictures of beautiful women') and style this looks somewhat like a woodblock print in the manner of / after Kitagawa Utamaro (1753-1806), but It doesn't appear to be his signature and seal (the seal and signature can be found on the righthand-side next to the women). Unfortunately, the resolution is not too good, which makes it difficult to recognise the signature. It might be better to attach a new picture with a larger image of the signature. To me it looks more like Mid 20th century, but it's hard to tell from that picture. |

Posted By: Madria Tue, Sep 13, 2022 I still could not identify the author, sorry. You might ask Bill or I.Nagy here in the forum for help. For comparison I attach you a link to Chrstie's current japan-auction (20991) with Bijin ga by Kitagawa Utamaro. They clearly deviate in style from the artist of your print. I regret that I cannot be of further help but I would be very interested in any future findings. |

Posted By: peter Wed, Sep 28, 2022 this does not look like a print to me but handpainted. It also looks more modern. |
