Description

This original 19th-century Japanese woodblock print, 'Autumn Moon at Seto' by Utagawa Hiroshige, measures 14 x 8 3/4 inches. The print is in poor condition with significant issues; it exhibits severe and uneven color fading across the entire image, which is a critical flaw for woodblock prints. Age-related toning presents a yellowish-brown cast, and the print has been trimmed on all sides. Multiple small holes are noted, particularly two in the upper right corner and one in the right house, likely from insect damage or pinning. Soft corners show wear, especially the top and bottom left, and light creasing and handling wear is evident. This piece represents the artistry of Hiroshige, who captured the beauty of Japan's landscape and is one of the most celebrated ukiyo-e masters.
