De God Hotei 1868 - 1912

"De God Hotei" is a woodblock print created by Yashima Gakutei, a Japanese artist who lived from 1786 to 1868. The print depicts a woman seated, her figure partially obscured by a flowing robe. This work, a classic example of ukiyo-e, captures the beauty and elegance of traditional Japanese clothing. It's likely a depiction of Hotei, the jolly Buddhist deity associated with happiness and wealth. The print is held in the Rijksmuseum and measures 216 mm in height and 189 mm in width. The intricate details of the patterned fabric, the delicate lines of the woman's face, and the rich colors of the artwork add to its aesthetic appeal.
