- Lot Description
Frame height 21 in., width 16.25; sight, height 15 in., 12.25. Hanaogi of the Ogiya from series Renowned Beatuie likened to the Six Immortal Poets (Komei bijin rokkagen) Woodblock print on gompi washi paper. Utamaro was a Japanese printmaker and painter who was one of the greatest artists of the ukiyo-e movement; he is known especially for his masterfully composed portraits of sensuous female beauties. In about 1791 Utamaro concentrated on making half-length single portraits of women rather than prints of women in groups as favoured by other ukiyo-e artists. In 1804, at the height of his success, he made some prints depicting the military ruler Toyotomi Hideyoshis wife and concubines. Consequently, he was accused of insulting Hideyoshi’s dignity and was ordered to be handcuffed for 50 days. The experience crushed him emotionally and ended his career as an artist. Among his best known works are the wood-block-print series (Ten Physiognomies of Women), (Twelve Hours at the Gay Quarters), (The Seven Beauties of the Gay Quarters), and Kasen koi no fu (Women in Love). Condition: Good, there are no fold marks. Discoloring and darkening apparent on paper.
