A woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi depicting Ushioda Masanojo Takano, showcasing the artist's skill in Ukiyo-e portraiture and his attention to detail in rendering the subject's attire and accoutrements.
This woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1797-1861) depicts Ushioda Masanojo Takano, a figure likely associated with the samurai class. Kuniyoshi was a prominent artist of the Ukiyo-e style, known for his dynamic compositions and depictions of historical and mythical subjects. His work often featured warriors, ghosts, and scenes from popular stories. The portrait presents Takano in a posed stance, drawing back an arrow. He is shown in profile, with a fan held aloft, and swords at his waist. The print employs a muted colour palette, typical of Ukiyo-e prints, with shades of blue, red, and brown dominating the composition. The details of Takano's clothing and armour are rendered with precision, reflecting Kuniyoshi's skill as a draughtsman. Textual elements, including inscriptions and signatures, are integrated into the design, adding to the visual complexity of the print. The background is a flat, grey-blue tone, which helps to isolate the figure and focus attention on the details of his attire and accoutrements. The print is a fine example of Ukiyo-e portraiture, capturing the likeness and character of its subject within the conventions of the genre.

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.
