Description

A Japanese woodblock print triptych, consistent with the ukiyo-e style of the Edo period. The prints depict three elaborately dressed courtesans or beauties (bijin-ga) under flowering cherry trees, illuminated by lanterns, suggesting a night scene. Each panel features vertical textual inscriptions in the upper corners and smaller cartouches containing Japanese characters near the lower corners, including a visible ‘豊國画’ (Toyokuni ga) mark on the left panel. The material is paper.


Condition report:

The prints exhibit significant color fading, particularly in the blues and greens. The paper shows general signs of age, including some discoloration and minor creasing. Overall, the triptych appears to be in fair to good condition for its type and age.
