Kiyochika: Sunset at Dokan Hill (Dokan yama yugi kure) (Sold)

Artist: Kobayashi Kiyochika
Title: Sunset at Dokan Hill (Dokan yama yugi kure)
Date: 1879

Somewhat unsettling view of a setting sun behind neglected tea stalls at Dokanyama. As darkness falls on a path beneath large trees, a woman, center, looks unconcerned and continues on her journey as a man looks over his shoulder at her with what appears to be a grimace. He wears a travel cloak and carries a walking stick. We get the feeling that this once must have been a bustling place but it is now rather neglected.

Condition: Very good impression, color and condition.
