Description

A Japanese woodblock print triptych, executed in the Ukiyo-e style, likely dating from the Edo or Meiji period. The three panels collectively depict a seaside leisure scene featuring figures, primarily women and children in traditional attire, by the water’s edge, with a prominent island to the left and distant mountains, possibly Mount Fuji, to the right. Rendered with polychrome inks on paper, the rightmost panel exhibits a vertical cartouche with red and black text, along with two red seals.


Condition report:

Significant color fading, particularly of the blues in the sky and water and reds in the garments. Extensive paper toning. Visible ink bleed-through on the reverse. Consistent with age and typical for prints of this period.
