Theehuis langs een rivier 1700 - 1750

"Theehuis langs een rivier" (House by the River) is a Japanese woodblock print by Nishikawa Sukenobu, a prominent artist of the Edo period. The scene depicts a bustling riverfront with figures interacting, a common theme in Sukenobu's work, which often celebrated the everyday life of the Japanese people. The artwork showcases the artist's refined linework and meticulous attention to detail in capturing the textures of clothing, architecture, and the flowing water. This print, created between 1700-1750, offers a glimpse into the vibrant social scene and cultural practices of 18th-century Japan, demonstrating Sukenobu's skill as a master of ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world).
