Triptychs of beautiful women
Please see Untitled set of triptychs of the six crystal rivers for another example of this genre. Unless otherwise noted, the individual sheets of these triptychs are each about 14 by 10 inches (36 by 25 centimeters), a size known as ôban. I am grateful to Ward Pieters for assisting with this section.
