Pair of Antique Woodblocks
Item Details
A pair of antique Japanese woodblock prints on rice paper. The first of these uniquely-stylized images depicts a nude woman walking a pair of greyhounds through a garden at night. The print is dated 1908 and signed illegibly in pencil to the lower right. It is presented behind glass in a thin beveled wooden frame with a hanging wire. The second print appears to be by the same artist, though it is unsigned. It depicts a woman seated playing guitar in a bright, airy room. The print has a thick paper backing and is behind glass, but is presented without matting or framing. It is currently housed in a thin plastic sleeve.
