On the Bund at Tokyo 1900

"On the Bund at Tokyo" is a color woodcut by American artist Helen Hyde (1868-1919), created in 1900. The artwork depicts a young girl in a colorful, patterned kimono holding a small dog on the Bund in Tokyo, Japan. This work is an example of the artist's fascination with Japanese culture and art. Hyde traveled extensively in Japan, using her experiences to create beautiful and evocative illustrations. Her work is known for its delicate lines and vibrant use of color, a clear nod to the ukiyo-e woodblock prints that influenced many Western artists in the 19th and 20th centuries.
