Lady Horikawa, and a warrior on horse back

This type of prints with no black outlines are called mizu-e, often seen with outlines in faint color such as red, yellow or green as the present lot. Early masters such as Torii Kiyomitsu, Suzuki Harunobu (1725-1770) and Kitao Shigemasa (1793-1820) are known to work on this type of prints. A similar mizu-e by the same artist is in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, accession number 1925.2003
