The mounting with traces of wear and use.With an inscribed wood tomobako (storage box).On the label applied to the back of the scroll, and on the accompanying wood storage box, there are authentications by Sakai Hoshuku (1878-1956) attesting to the attribution of the present lot. Sakai Hoshuku (1878-1956) was a painter of the Rinpa tradition, son of Doitsu. Hoshuku traced his artistic roots back five generations to Sakai Hoitsu (1761-1829). Extant paintings demonstrate the wide range of Hoshuku’s capabilities, including those in the Yamato-e style, while others manifest the influence of the Nagasaki as well as Maruyama-Shijo schools.Kitagawa Utamaro (1754–1806) is one of the most highly regarded designers of ukiyo-e woodblock prints and paintings and is best known for his bijin okubi-e (large-headed pictures of beautiful women) of the 1790s. He also produced nature studies, particularly illustrated books of insects. Little is known of Utamaro's life. His work began to appear in the 1770s, and he rose to prominence in the early 1790s with his portraits of beauties with exaggerated, elongated features. He produced over 2000 known prints and was one of the few ukiyo-e artists to achieve fame throughout Japan in his lifetime.Today there are only around 50 known paintings by Utamaro in existence. The artist would most likely have painted hundreds more, but many have been lost due to a “high attrition rate”. Utamaro lived and worked in the city of Edo, modern-day Tokyo, which was damaged by several large fires.Museum comparison:Compare a closely related hanging scroll painting depicting two beauties, by Kitagawa Utamaro, circa 1801-1804, in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, object number 14.76.70b.
