Typical Price
The fan serves as both prop and compositional device in this graceful figure study by one of shin-hanga's founding artists. Capelari's Austrian background gave his Japanese subjects a distinctive European flavor that appeals to collectors of both traditions. Pre-earthquake first editions command $4,000-$9,000; reprints are available for $1,800-$3,500.
Description
An elegant woman holding a folding fan, combining Western portrait technique with Japanese decorative sensibility.
