From an estate sale with many fine Asian antiques in Los Angeles. Two women, one with a little boy on her back, examine the potted plants a street vendor has for sale. On offer are a potted plum bonsai and adonis flowers (fukujuso) in variously shaped pots, so we know the setting is the New Year. The lantern mount behind the vendor, decorated with paper and plant streamers, also signals the beginning of spring. This print belongs to a series of twenty designs depicting groups of people from various classes wearing elegant street clothes. Measures approximately 10″ x 15.75″. I removed it from its frame to get a closer look. The frame has been discarded. Contact me with any questions.
