Typical Price
A dramatic maritime composition, this junk at sea demonstrates Capelari's ability to render movement and atmosphere in the woodblock medium. With only about 24 designs in his entire output, every Capelari subject is inherently scarce. Pre-earthquake editions (6mm circular Watanabe seal) sell for $3,000-$8,000; reprints for $1,500-$3,500.
Description
A traditional Japanese sailing vessel on calm waters, rendered with European attention to light and atmosphere.
