Asahi 1996

この下絵は数種類知られる国芳の二十四孝を題材とした錦絵に関するものである。二十四孝は古代の中国の物語で、模範になるような親孝行をした子供の話である。完成図の文章によると、董永は家が貧しいので亡父を弔う費用を工面するために自らの身を売った。主家へ赴く途中、董永は美女に出会う。美女は董永と同行し、さらに1ヶ月の間に200反もの絹を織り上げる。絹を董永に贈り、美女は空へ飛び立つ。美女は董永の親孝行な気持ちに感心した天女であったという。

完成図(参考出品)と比較すると、ごく初期の段階の下絵であることがわかる。下絵では董永一人が天女に別れを告げているが、完成図では水辺の道から数人が身ぶりも大きく別れを告げている。天女のポーズも完成図ではよりダイナミックなものに描き変えている。他の二十四孝のシリーズと同様に、国芳は中国や西洋の要素を自在に取りこんでいるが、特に西洋の素描の手法と遠近法の技術が目立つ。

関係ない馬上の人物が上下逆の姿で空の部分に見えるが、これは同じ薄い紙の反対側に描かれたものである。

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
