6 x 8 1/4 (two 6 x 4 1/8 diptych sheets joined) |
| Impression |
Very Fine. Nicely executed "bokashi" shading to screen; extensive "burnishing" to black collars, head-rest, and kimono's under-lining; light "gauffrage" to screens; crisp "key-lines," highly detailed carving of individual hair-lines. |
| Condition |
Excellent. Strong colors. (Crisp and clean--no flaws noted.) |
| Reference/Illus |

| Comments |
Looking over his shoulder, perhaps as if surprised--a couple locked in a love-making embrace. (Exceptionally clean for "shunga.") |
