| Impression |
Fine. Skillfully executed "bokashi" shading to sky and tree areas; nicely visible "woodgrain"
to sky and tree trunk; highly detailed carving. |
| Condition |
Good++. Quite good colors. (Two worm-tracks near top (mostly to margins); narrow mat-line along
bottom; tape stain top margin edge; scattered marks/wear; light toning.) |
| Reference/Illus |
"Hiroshige--Brooklyn Museum" pl#30. |
| Comments |
From Hiroshige's most celebrated series. A highly sought after image that Van Gogh reproduced
in 1887 as an oil painting.
Unique visible "woodgrain" pattern confirms
printing done via original blocks.
