Kabuki Actress - SOLD

Kabuki actress   is a superb colored woodblock print on paper, realized around 1830 by one of the most famous Japanese Ukiyo-e artists  Utagawa Kunisada , also known as  Utagawa Toyokuni III  (1786 - 1865) or Kunisada I . With inscriptions   in black and red ink   on plate on the lower margin.

This wonderful modern artwork represents a scene set indoors, on a theater stage, a crouched actress is showing her pain whilst biting a handkerchief. Incredible drapery and texture of the Japanese dress. 

Very well-inked with shiny colors, this plate is in very good conditions, with some little imperceptible holes of the paper on the left margin and lower right corner, and some light discolorations of the ink of the inscriptions. A cream-colored cardboard passepartout is included (50 x 35 cm).

A beautiful and colorful piece that could give to your house a sophisticated touch, absolutely to include in your art collection!
