About the piece

Painted in 1894, this work by Edward Atkinson Hornel captures the vibrant atmosphere of a Nagasaki flower market. Using a thick impasto technique and a kaleidoscopic color palette, Hornel creates a rhythmic composition of figures in kimonos and decorative parasols, reflecting the influence of Japanese aesthetics on the Glasgow School.
