EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: A Japanese Lady with Wagasa, circa 1918 This artwork, titled "A Japanese Lady with Wagasa," showcases the elegance and grace of a Japanese woman dressed in traditional blue and red garments, holding a wagasa umbrella. The painting is believed to have been created around 1918, and is an exquisite example of Japanese art from the early 20th century. The woman in the artwork is depicted wearing a kimono, a traditional Japanese garment, which is secured with an obi sash. Her kimono features intricate patterns in shades of blue and red, adding to the vibrant and rich visual appeal of the painting. In her left hand, she holds a wagasa, a type of Japanese folding parasol, which is often used to protect against the sun or rain. The artist of this beautiful piece is Chobunsai Eishi, a renowned Japanese painter of the Edo period. Eishi was known for his mastery of the Rimpa school of painting, which is characterized by its use of bold colors, intricate patterns, and a focus on natural elements. This artwork was once part of the prestigious March of the Women Collection, which was acquired by the Anthony Hordern Fine Art Gallery in Sydney, Australia. The gallery, located on Brickfield Hill, was a significant cultural institution in Sydney during the early 20th century, and was renowned for its extensive collection of Asian art. The serene expression on the woman's face, combined with the delicate beauty of the wagasa, create a sense of tranquility and harmony in this artwork. The intricate patterns on her kimono and the delicate folds of the wagasa add to the visual complexity of the piece, making it a true masterpiece of Japanese art.
