Reflectieschelp, ivoorschelp en tritonschelp 1821

This woodblock print, titled "Reflectieschelp, ivoorschelp en tritonschelp" ("Reflection Shell, Ivory Shell, and Triton Shell") was created by Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei in 1821. It is a fine example of the "ukiyo-e" ("pictures of the floating world") style, which often depicted everyday life and natural beauty. Hokkei's intricate detail and use of vibrant colors brings these shells to life, highlighting their unique textures and shapes, as seen in the intricate details of the shells’ textures and patterns. This artwork is currently housed in the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
