Saturday, 18 June 2005 Kakemono-e: The Cool of Evening Artist: Toyohiro Format: Oban Kakemono-e: 26.5" x 9.25" overall Subject: In the cool of the evening, a high class lady of Edo society, alights from a pleasure craft. One of few extant copies of this classic design in very fine state. Illustrated in Ukiyo-e Taikei Volume 9, Plate 44. Ficke, in Chats On Japanese Prints wrote of Toyohiro that: 'All Toyohiro's work has an aristocratic touch, a fine subtlety of curve and colour that contrasts markedly with the frequently blaring compositions of Toyokuni I (his pupil). He seldom drew actors or courtesans; most of his figures are ladies of birth and breeding. The beautiful spots of black which are important elements in the majority of his compositions are handled with a keen sense of contrast that not even Kiyonaga surpassed.' Seal of the Hayashi Tadamasa Collection, bottom left. Date: 1790's Condition: Some overall trimming, principally to upper sheet, otherwise fine. Colour: Fine Impression: Fine Estimated Value: ｣12000 - ｣15000
