Young Mother, a poster from the 2012 exhibition NARA Yoshitomo: a bit like you and me. It is described as an offset lithograph, unsigned and without an edition number, and as new, opened once to check the contents.
The Piece
A girl with a heavy auburn bob faces the viewer squarely, her amber eyes level and her mouth a short straight line. Her dress is a mosaic of small strokes in rust, ochre and green, and the ground behind her is a pale, even green. It is among the best known images of the exhibition, calm where his earlier children glared.
The title of the exhibition is set in pale blue lower-case type down the left side, over a light band at the foot. The exhibition opened at the Yokohama Museum of Art in 2012 and travelled to Aomori and Kumamoto.
