Digital Art - Digital Print
Description
The woman seated in front of a dressing stand with a blue towel is the artist’s lover Nakatani Tsuru. This dazzling modern beauty, closely holding her sheer summer kimono and gazing out at the viewer, is also an homage to Kitagawa Utamaro (1753–1806). The hairline, splashed patterns (kasuri) on the summer kimono, and rendering of the model’s breasts and arms visible through her thin kimono demonstrate Goyō’s exceptional skills.

I had to have this unique art in my personal collection, I expected to arrive at the end of Jan. 2021. I will post pics - this is a very rare art, the original image was digitally restored to nearly original print - for the curious, this art image has embedded red and blue barcode stripes which requires very unique restoration software, I had to write a special algorithm to help preserve the original art when it was processing the digital restoration.
