Description

An early to mid-20th-century color woodblock print, executed in a style likely associated with the *shin-hanga* movement. The composition depicts a figurative scene of a young person standing on a ladder next to banana trees in a tropical landscape, blending traditional Japanese printmaking techniques with Western influences. Visible markings include the French title ‘Sous les Bananiers’ and ‘Tomil-Yap’ in Latin script at the bottom center, alongside Japanese characters and a red artist’s seal at the lower right.


Condition report:

The print exhibits overall paper toning, irregularly torn or deckled edges, and some apparent color fading. It appears in fair condition consistent with its age.
