專家說明

The present picture belongs to a tradition going back to Whistler's Japanese subjects of the 1860s and '70s, by way of paintings inspired by visits to Japan by Whistler's pupil Mortimer Menpes (1887), Alfred East (1889) and the two 'Glasgow Boys', George Henry and E.A. Hornel (1893-4).
The picture's title is taken from Gilbert and Sullivan's Savoy opera The Mikado, first staged in March 1885.
