Morning Beauty
Ink hand drawing with a little bit of red ink on very thin paper, slightly glossy at the front side
Unsigned, Utagawa school, 19th century
Condition: Paper a little bit creased, a few tiny wormholes, a few tiny holes at right margin, a weak spot at right margin, otherwise perfect condition.
The beautiful drawings from this group, obviously all made by one hand, are either preparatory drawings (shita-e) for colour woodblock prints or copies after such prints. Stylistically and thematically, these drawings are most likely to be attributed to Utagawa Kunisada (Gototei or Kôchôrô period, ca. 1820-30) or his studio. The execution is very careful, with detailed drawing of hands and feet.
