Artist: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Japanese, 1839-1892).
Title: "Study for Hanging Scroll #01".
Medium: Pen and ink drawing.
Date: Composed c1870s.
Dimensions: Overall size: 10 3/4 x 7 1/2 in. (273 x 190 mm). Image size: 7 3/8 x 5 3/4 in. (187 x 146 mm).
Lot Note(s): Translucent Gampi (Washi/Rice/Mulberry) paper affixed at the corners to a semi-opaque, handmade, laid paper. Very good condition; minor folding lower right corner, no broken paper fibers. Provenance: Wittenborn Art Books, New York City. Comment(s): Drawings by Yoshitoshi are very scarce. This drawing came from a hand bound album of drawings and sketches, with Yoshitoshi’s name and date inscribed, not in his hand, on the first leaf (please see images). The date is written “the 27th year of Meiji period, Oct. 10th.” The 27th year of the Meiji is the year 1894, two years after the Artist’s death. The album is hand bound and had many blank pages. In addition, the final non-blank pages are colored around the drawings with cinnabar, clearly by the artist. Hence while the album could have been assembled after his death, the more likely probability is that it was bound by the Artist and became a working album, which he continually added to over the years. He is also known as Taiso Yoshitoshi, Yoshitoshi Taiso, and Tsukioka Kinzaburo Yoshitoshi. [24502-2-300]
