Vrouw met wierookbrander c. 1890 - 1900

"Vrouw met wierookbrander" (Woman with Incense Burner) is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei, sometime between 1890 and 1900. It depicts a woman, likely a noblewoman, adorned in elaborate traditional clothing and holding a pipe, perhaps meant to be an incense burner. The print's delicate lines and vibrant colors showcase the beauty and elegance of Japanese aesthetics, showcasing the artistry of Ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints. The work is housed in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, and is a significant example of Hokkei's mastery of woodblock printing, capturing the subtle nuances of Japanese culture and artistry.
