Very Fine. Sumptuous soft silver "mica" background; subtle "bokashi" shading to face;
nicely detailed hairlines; highly detailed carving. "Sketch" reproduced onto heavy, museum-quality paper.
Nicely detailed-- virtually indiscernible from Goyo's original graphite sketches. |

Pristine. (No flaws noted.)

Comments |
Wonderful, delicate Goyo "bijin-ga" image. One of only 16 lifetime images done by Goyo
(11 "bijin-ga," 4 landscapes, 1 "kacho-e"). "Skecth" is reproduced from Goyo's original graphite-on-paper
sketches in Goyo's original sketch size. |
