Man in Combat in front of the Reeds

This figuration of a man in combat in front of the reeds is the work of the japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada (1786-1865), otherwise known as Toyokuni III.

Whether through the use of color, the rendering of plants, the anatomy of the subject, the graphic choices appear to us here of great modernity.

In a traditional "oban" format, this beautiful woodcut print is presented in a mat ivory bristol board in the outer size of 44.7x32.2.

Some small consolidations on the back of the lower right corner.

Its general state of preservation is very good.
