Japanese artist Utagawa Toyoharu worked in the medium of ukiyo-e, literally “pictures of the floating world”, woodblock prints of various subjects. The artist founded the school that bears his name, which used perspective to give the illusion of depth. “A Winter Party” is a graceful, almost fragile scene in a wealthy home on a winter’s day.
