Subtle washes of color and beautifully detailed figures in this duo of Japanese woodblocks, with possibly some hand-applied inking over the print. The horizontal print shows a calligrapher at work, with a man observing, in a large room open to the outdoors. Signed in lower right. This image is likely based on the 18th century print by Suziki Harunobo, Edo period, "A Girl Writing A Letter," residing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The vertical print shows two women kneeling and slightly bowed before a large floral display, possibly a shrine. A column in the background indicates perhaps a temple setting. By her unadorned kimono, the woman to the left appears to be a servant. Script in cartouche at upper right, and script with stamp at lower left. Both are matted in silk tussah, and framed in simple dark wood. Note decal on back of one with legend Jordan Marsh High Class Framing, dating these to early in the first half of the 1900s. Dimensions: 14.75"W X 18.75"H; 18.75"W X 14.75"H Pickup category timeslot {B}
