(R) TWO JAPANESE WOODPRINTS
Two Japanese woodblock prints mounted together as a small group. The second print presents a more intimate figural scene with richly patterned garments and strong blocks of colour.
The pair reflects the narrative range of Edo-period ukiyo-e, from travel imagery to scenes centred on individual figures. Cartouches, signatures and seals are integrated into the compositions as part of the visual design. The prints show differing scales and palettes but work effectively together as examples of 19th-century Japanese popular print culture.
For lots marked with (R), a 19% VAT is added to the combined hammer price and commission. This VAT is waived for: - Private buyers outside the EU who officially export the items.- Businesses inside the EU holding a valid VAT number, exporting to their home country. Proper export documentation is required to waive the VAT
