Folding Fan Seller, Round Fan Seller, Barley Pounder - Wonderful Utamaro portrait of three beauties at the Yoshiwara Niwaka Festival. Dressed in informal summer clothing, the barley pounder carries a wooden mallet, while the round fan seller carries her wares hanging from two slender bamboo poles over her shoulder. Beautiful soft color with exceptionally fine shading, and touches of delicate embossing. A lovely subject, rarely seen in reprint.
