Goodwill
Hello Sherri,
Thank you for your appraisal inquiry with Mearto. I apologize for the short delay in your appraisal and thank you for your patience. The item presented appears to be woodblock by Hashimoto Chikanobu (橋本周延, Japanese, 1838–1912) also known as Toyohara Chikanobu (豊原周延) from a series titled "Shin bijin" (真美人, True Beauties). The print appears to have some severe discoloration or fading to the colors, or it could be a reprint. Reprints are often produced with different colors.
The estimate provided is based on recent auction estimates and results of this work and other comparable woodblocks by Chikanobu from the same series. The estimate is contingent on a full condition report. Please note asking or dealer prices may vary. Thank you and please take care.
