Evening Walk c. 1810 - 1820

"Evening Walk" is a woodblock print by Japanese artist Hasegawa Settan, dating to the early 19th century. The print depicts two figures walking at dusk, one carrying a lantern. The composition is simple yet charming, and the artist’s use of color and line captures the atmosphere of a quiet evening stroll. The work exemplifies the ukiyo-e genre, which was popular in Edo-period Japan, and often depicted scenes of daily life and popular culture. The print is small, measuring just 188 mm in height and 105 mm in width, and is a fine example of Settan’s delicate style.
