Description

A Japanese woodblock print (ukiyo-e) on paper, depicting a bearded figure, likely a sage or monk, seated in a landscape with a full moon and autumnal foliage. The style is consistent with the Edo or early Meiji period. Visible markings on the obverse include Japanese text in various cartouches, such as a pink vertical cartouche at the top right and a long vertical column on the left, alongside multiple red seals (square and circular) in the lower left and right corners. The reverse shows significant bleed-through of the pigments.


Condition report:

Apparent condition indicates notable color fading, particularly of the red and blue pigments, general paper toning, and minor surface wear consistent with age.
