Impression |
Very Fine. Skillfully executed, soft "bokashi" shading throughout; light "gauffrage" to foreground snow accumulation;
visible woodgrain to sky. (Printed with minimal use of black "key-lines.") |

Excellent. Strong colors. Full margins. (Slight age toning.) |

Comments |
A wonderfully snowy streetscene image. Ito's images largely lack black "key-lines"--thusly
imparting an overall soft, "watercolor" appearance. RARELY seen image. |
