Title:	Japanese Empress Doll
Artist:	Japanese School Artist (Japan, 19th Century)
Date:	c. 1890
Medium:	Original Japanese Brush Drawing
Note:	Like so many other objects produced by Japanese nineteenth century culture the classic doll served both a utilitarian and artistic function. The face and hands were usually fashioned with delicately lacquered woods and the finest silken textiles were used for costumes representing nobles, dancers, warriors and other worthies. The doll was thus a carefully constructed sculpture, and the equal to those that were carved in wood or made of bronze.
	This beautiful drawing was probably made in the workshop of a nineteenth century doll maker and may represent a preparatory study. The hand-made mulberry paper it is drawn upon was used until about 1890, when thicker papers of Western influence began to replace it. The drawing therefore may be considerably older than the above date.
	The artist most skilfully rendered a large number of colours and textures to create this drawing. Within such areas as the headdress, the costume and even the designs upon the platform one finds intricate forms and designs that makes this representation a work of art in its own right.
