Hello all. I've already bought this 2 pices of a triticum five days ago and nobody know the artist, if someone could help me ,feel free to get in touch.
Thanks a lot in advance

Since the 3rd part of the triptych - with cartouche and signature-　is missing it is very difficult to define the artist.There are a lot of similar prints with the title of "Yukigassen" or Snowball-fight.
Judgeing from the hair styles and clothing of the women
(maids, not court ladies), it can be from the end of the Edo Period.
According to my opinion possibly it has been done by Kunichika, Kunitoshi or Nobukazu.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Given the reds and purples, you are in the Meiji era. I think you can eliminate Kunichika. It could be any number of Meiji artists. Note the similarity to the Kunisada II/Toyokuni IV print below.

Cheers,
Stan
