Ando Utagawa Hiroshige,

"Evening Cool at Ryogoku Bridge" from the series "Famous Places of the Eastern Capital" (Toto meisho). Signed Hiroshige ga, sealed aratame and with the publisher Arita-ya Seiemon's seal, dated 1854. Vertical ôban triptych: circa 35 x 24 cm (x3).

The sheets connected and laid on paper. Partly faded and with minor stains and foxing, trimmed at the margins and with minor tears.

Muut tiedot

The present triptych is nearly identical to that in the collections of Harvard Art Museum (object no. 1933.4.5001) and the triptych sold at Christies (object no. 1933.4.5001), with the difference that the palette is somewhat different—notably in the lower clouds and in the background to the fireworks—but otherwise they are to be considered identical.
