19th Century Japanese Woodblock Triptych and One Complimenting Panel. 19th Century original Japanese woodblock prints boasting extraordinary colors. The first piece is a spectacular triptych of women possibly at dusk, each in their finest kimonos in front of blossoming cherry tree branches. What is so appealing is the lining of their tamotos or voluminous sleeves have different patterns of flowers, rabbits or panels. Each woodblock print is 13½ x 9½" and all three matted and presented in a single frame 21 x 37". The second piece compliments the triptych nicely of another Japanese woman at dusk holding a lantern, setting off beautifull the contrasting reds and blues in her kimono. Again 13½ x 9½" framed to 22 x 17", All four woodblocks are in excellent condition and both nicely presented. Estimate Value $600 - UP
