This woodblock print, "An Old Woman," is attributed to Katsushika Hokusai, one of the most celebrated Japanese artists of the Edo period (1603-1868). The print depicts an elderly woman seated, likely in a teahouse, surrounded by two other individuals. The scene suggests a social gathering or a moment of casual conversation. Hokusai's distinct style is evident in the meticulous details, such as the intricate patterns on the clothing and the delicate rendering of the bamboo plants. The print showcases the artist's masterful use of black and white ink, creating a sense of depth and atmospheric perspective. The print is a testament to Hokusai's keen observation of everyday life, capturing the charm and intimacy of human interaction in a tranquil setting.
