Vrouw schrijft een brief c. 1890 - 1900

"Vrouw schrijft een brief" (Woman Writing a Letter) is a ukiyo-e woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei, created sometime between 1890 and 1900. Depicting a woman in traditional dress engaged in the act of writing, the print showcases Hokkei's masterful use of line and color, capturing the elegance and refinement of Edo-period aesthetics. The inclusion of decorative elements, such as the bamboo basket and the intricate patterned fabric, further enhances the work's visual appeal. This print, now housed in the Rijksmuseum, exemplifies Hokkei's contribution to the vibrant world of Japanese woodblock printing.
