Description

Presenting the esteemed Katsushika Hokusai Japanese woodblock print 'Sculptors at Work' from the revered series 'One Hundred Views of Mount Fuji' (Fugaku hyakkei). This original page measures 16 1/4 x 11 1/2 inches, with the image size being 11 5/8 x 7 1/2 inches. The print is a priceless piece of Edo period history, showcasing Hokusai's mastery of composition and design. Please note that the print displays several small brown spots (foxing), particularly in the upper left sky region and along the left side, and is mounted on a highly discolored paper board, marked by a significant water stain in the upper left corner. The reverse reveals signs of adhesive and foxing as well. Hokusai, an iconic artist born circa October 31, 1760, and passed on May 10, 1849, revolutionized ukiyo-e art with his expansive focus on landscapes, plants, and animals. His work remains influential in the art world, and this particular print exemplifies the high standard of his craft.
