For your bidding consideration is this very rare and beautiful, Ja panese Woodblock DIPTYCH Print signed by the famous KIKUGAWA EIZAN (1787 - 1867) . This Print is from Eizan's BIJIN SERIES "BEAUTIES AND CHILD - TREASURES IN PLAY" which he produced circa 1820. "BIJIN" translates to "Beautiful Woman". You can see another very fine example of this series at THE FINE ARTS MUSEUM OF SAN FRANSISCO web site . Type "Eizan" in the search bar and then look for image #3. They have incorrectly titled the image "Woman with Doll" but it will show you a different color scheme of a very similar image. The colors in this print, which are vivid and vibrant, are in layers. The artistâe(tm)s signature and printers seal are at the lower left corner of the print. T are 3 small holes in the print (see the close up photo of the Womans face looking at the child. The biggest hole is just above her head, touching on the hair bow). The other 2 holes arev less than 10% of the size of that one (@ 1/16"). On the back of this print, written in pencil, is the name "Eizan" (see photo). The Print measures 9 1/2" x 27 7/8". Some tinting or light soiling from age (@ 200 years old) but o verall, the print is in VERY NICE CONDITION.
