Prussian Couple (A German Merchant and His Wife)

Utagawa Sadahide

Japanese, c. 1807 - 1873

This is a variant impression of Philadelphia Museum of Art, 1968-165-18, that was designed as part of the pentaptych Picture of the Residence of a Foreign Merchant from Overseas at Yokohama. For this version, the artist used different woodblocks to produce more elaborate patterns on the woman's garments.
