Very elegant and lovely print from rare commemorative limited edition. Unfortunately, he died very young, at only 41 years old. First edition prints of Goyo’s works are very expensive. The original blocks for his works were destroyed in the great earthquake of 1923. Fortunately, in the mid 20th century his heirs gave two of Japan’s finest woodblock printers, Tanseisha and Yuyudo, permission to publish very small limited commemorative editions of his masterworks. The prints from these editions were skillfully printed from meticulously recarved blocks and are of the highest quality. This beautiful print is from the Tanseisha commemorative limited edition. Instead of following in the footsteps of the earlier ukiyo-e artists who most often chose their models from the famous courtesans of their time, Goyo preferred to paint the geishas, waitresses and maids of his era. This lovely image is of a young woman who has just bathed and is dressed in a casual kimono. She is drying her face with a colorful hand towel. On her left hand is a gold ring set with a blue stone. A soft, dark mica background frames her figure. This is a classic Goyo image. Would be a superb choice for the collector or interior decorator. It is an incredible portrait that would make a stunning impact in any room. Goyo’s masterworks are in the collections of many of the world’s great museums. Among them are the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago. TITLE: Woman with a Gold Ring. SEAL: Go with leaf pattern.
