"Dessin Préparatoire Pour Une Estampe Harimaze" by Utagawa or Andō Hiroshige is a notable example of preparatory sketches for Japanese woodblock prints, specifically designed for the harimaze format. Hiroshige (1797–1858), one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock printing and painting, is renowned for his landscapes and depictions of birds and flowers. The term "harimaze" refers to a type of ukiyo-e print that features multiple, unrelated images on a single sheet, which could be cut out and used for various decorative purposes. These images often included popular actors, beautiful women, famous landscapes, or scenes from literature and were designed to appeal to a broad audience.

The "Dessin Préparatoire Pour Une Estampe Harimaze" by Hiroshige showcases the artist's initial designs and thoughts, serving as a vital step in the creation of a harimaze print. These preparatory sketches are crucial for understanding Hiroshige's artistic process, offering insights into the development of compositions, the arrangement of elements, and the balance of colors. Although the final prints are celebrated for their beauty and precision, these preliminary drawings reveal the creative and experimental stages that precede the finished works.

Hiroshige's contribution to the ukiyo-e tradition and his influence on Western art cannot be overstated. His work, including the harimaze prints and their preparatory sketches, played a significant role in shaping the Japonisme trend in Europe during the late 19th century. Artists like Vincent van Gogh and Claude Monet were profoundly influenced by Hiroshige's compositions and thematic choices, integrating elements of his style into their own works.

The "Dessin Préparatoire Pour Une Estampe Harimaze" not only exemplifies Hiroshige's mastery over the ukiyo-e genre but also serves as a testament to the intricate process of traditional Japanese printmaking. These sketches offer a rare glimpse into the artist's workflow, from conception to execution, highlighting the meticulous planning and artistic intuition that underpin the creation of harimaze prints.
