英一蝶画譜 3巻 [3]

英一蝶 [原画], 鈴鄰松筆 · 青雲堂英文蔵 · 23 pictures

This is a Japanese woodblock picture book (ehon) from the Edo period, volume 3 of a painting manual after designs by Hanabusa Itchō, published by Seiunkan Bunzō and copied by Suzuki Rinsho for craftsmen and amateur painters. The pictures are ink line drawings of figures, animals and plum branches with sparse ground lines and a few hatched areas, so a designer might borrow their economical brushwork, figure poses and simple landscape shorthand.
