EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Andon, Lantern" was created by the renowned artist Utagawa Toyokuni between 1830 and 1844. The woodcut masterpiece measures 37.6 x 25.8 cm and showcases a mesmerizing full-length portrait of a woman standing elegantly, facing left. The woman in the print exudes an air of mystery and allure as she embarks on her journey to meet her lover. Adorned with several hairpins intricately placed in her hair, she carries a lantern gracefully in her right hand while clutching folded cloth or papers in her left hand. Toyokuni's attention to detail is evident through his masterful use of color and delicate brushwork, which brings life to every element of this composition. The vibrant hues highlight the woman's beauty and accentuate the subtle emotions portrayed on her face. As we gaze upon this artwork from Quint Lox's Liszt Collection, we are transported back to a time when love affairs were shrouded in secrecy and passion burned brightly under the soft glow of lanterns. This print captures not only the physical beauty but also the emotional intensity that lies within human connections. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time, allowing us to immerse ourselves in stories told through strokes of paint or ink. "Andon, Lantern" invites us into its world—a world where love blossoms amidst clandestine meetings—and leaves us yearning for more tales untold by U
