A woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi titled 'Evening Faces', depicting a woman and a dog in a snow scene. The print showcases Kuniyoshi's mastery of composition and his ability to evoke mood through subtle details.
Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) was a prominent Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the Edo period. He is celebrated for his dynamic and imaginative prints, particularly those depicting historical and mythical subjects. Kuniyoshi's work is characterised by its bold compositions, expressive figures, and incorporation of Western artistic elements, setting him apart from many of his contemporaries. He trained under Toyokuni I, head of the Utagawa school, and produced a vast number of prints throughout his career, influencing generations of later artists. His work is held in many collections, including the British Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. 'Evening Faces' depicts a woman in a snow-covered setting, accompanied by a dog. The scene is rendered in muted tones, with the falling snow creating a soft, diffused light. The woman, dressed in a dark kimono, carries a rolled scroll, while the dog stands attentively beside her. Above, a cartouche displays calligraphy and a floral motif, adding a decorative element to the composition. The print exemplifies Kuniyoshi's skill in capturing atmosphere and emotion through subtle details and careful use of colour.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
