A uniquely contemplative composition showing a woman viewing a painting, this design adds intellectual depth to Goyo's exploration of feminine beauty. The meta-artistic subject — art within art — appeals to collectors who appreciate conceptual sophistication. Lifetime editions are priced at $10,000-$25,000; Tanseisha posthumous prints typically bring $1,800-$3,500.
Description
A woman gazes at a hanging scroll painting on a wall, her back partially turned to the viewer. The composition creates an intriguing duality, with the viewer observing the woman who is herself absorbed in the contemplation of art. Her graceful posture and the elegant fall of her kimono create a composition that is itself a study in beauty observing beauty.
