Chikanobu Triptych – Shogun Returns from the Hunt in Koganehara, c.1897 This powerful and dynamic triptych by Toyohara Chikanobu (1838–1912) depicts the Shogun and his retinue returning from a falconry hunt across the vast grasslands of Koganehara. The print is part of the celebrated Meiji-era series Chiyoda no Omote (Outer Palace of Chiyoda), which portrayed ceremonial and military scenes from the life of the Tokugawa shogunate. This series blends historical reverence with a modern Meiji sensibility, celebrating Japan’s warrior heritage at a time of rapid transformation. Rendered in rich color and vivid linework, the triptych shows a noble procession in motion: the mounted Shogun at center turns back toward the viewer, while falconers and warriors in elaborate dress surround him. Attendants carry game and falconry equipment, and a dense forest line marks the horizon behind them. The sweeping composition emphasizes both movement and status, with the central figure visually dominant and placed against a pale, open sky. The triptych is signed by Chikanobu with the toshidama cartouche and published by Fukuda Hatsujirō around 1897. Chikanobu, one of the last great ukiyo-e masters, was celebrated for his ability to capture imperial ceremony, samurai culture, and the feminine elegance of the court — often in triptych format for dramatic impact. While the work shows some age-related signs, it retains strong visual appeal and is a compelling historical document of samurai-era tradition as imagined through Meiji eyes. Condition report: Good overall condition considering age. The three sheets are mounted together on old Japanese paper backing (verso), which is loosening slightly along the joins. Light overall toning and minor wrinkling across the panels. Colors remain well preserved with strong impression and no major losses or tears. Margins present, minor handling wear visible. A stable and attractive display piece. Framing tips: We recommend float mounting the full triptych in a custom horizontal frame, allowing the slight backing and joins to remain visible as part of its historical charm. Use a dark walnut or black lacquer frame with an off-white or light beige acid-free mat. Proper archival mounting can help preserve the integrity of the backing while enhancing its display quality.

Antique Louvre Bas-Relief Print, Cour Carrée Allegorical Figures – Baltard 1803 Description: This elegant early 19th-century architectural engraving originates from the rare and influential publication *Paris et ses Monuments, mesurés, dessinés et gravés*, created by the French architect and engraver Louis-Pierre Baltard and published in Paris in 1803. Dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte, Baltard’s monumental work was conceived as a comprehensive visual record of the most important architectural monuments of Paris. Through carefully measured drawings and highly refined copperplate engravings, Baltard documented sculptural and architectural details with remarkable clarity and precision. The present plate is titled *Bas-reliefs dessus de Porte de la Cour du Louvre* (Bas-relief above a door in the courtyard of the Louvre). The engraving illustrates a sculptural relief located in the celebrated Cour Carrée of the Louvre Palace, specifically on the Lescot Wing, one of the earliest Renaissance sections of the palace. The sculptural composition frames a large circular oculus at the center of the relief. On either side stand two monumental allegorical female figures dressed in classical drapery and wearing antique helmets. These figures originate from the sculptural program of the Louvre designed during the French Renaissance and are attributed to the renowned sculptor Jean Goujon (c.1510–1567), one of the most influential artists of the School of Fontainebleau. The left figure is generally interpreted as the allegory of History. She is shown in classical dress, leaning upon a staff and poised as if ready to record events. Such representations symbolized the preservation of royal deeds and historical memory, themes closely associated with Renaissance court culture. Opposite her stands the allegorical figure of Fame (Renommée). She holds symbolic attributes associated with renown and glory, reinforcing the celebratory tone of the sculptural program that decorated the royal palace. Together these allegories were designed to glorify the monarchy and commemorate the achievements of the French crown. Jean Goujon’s sculptural style is evident in the elongated proportions and graceful poses of the figures. The drapery falls in soft, fluid folds that cling delicately to the bodies, a technique often described as “wet drapery,” characteristic of Goujon’s work and the broader aesthetic of the Fontainebleau school. Surrounding the figures, the circular architectural opening is framed by smooth classical moldings that contrast with the finely modeled sculpture. Baltard’s engraving captures these Renaissance sculptures with extraordinary technical precision. Using fine burin work and dense hatchings, he recreated the sculptural depth and subtle modeling of the stone relief. The careful rendering of textures—from the smooth architectural surfaces to the delicate folds of drapery—demonstrates the scientific and artistic rigor with which Baltard approached the documentation of Parisian monuments. Architectural engravings such as this were produced both as scholarly records and as educational tools for artists and architects studying classical ornament and Renaissance architecture. Today prints from *Paris et ses Monuments* remain highly sought after by collectors of architectural prints, historians of French art, and interior designers seeking authentic classical imagery. This is an original print from the year of publication, not a later reproduction. The print is offered unframed, allowing the buyer complete freedom to select framing appropriate to personal taste or interior design preferences. Any framed examples shown in photographs are for visual inspiration only. Condition: Good antique condition with general age-related toning and occasional light foxing. Wide margins preserved. Strong impression with visible plate mark. Minor handling wear consistent with age. Framing tips: This engraving displays beautifully with a generous ivory or warm cream mat and a dark walnut, ebonized, or gilded frame. The wide horizontal composition makes it ideal above desks, console tables, or as part of a curated wall of architectural studies.

The surrounding smaller islands include Marie-Galante (bottom right) and Les Saintes. The map details numerous place names, parishes, rivers, bays, mountains, and anchorages. A decorative rococo title cartouche graces the upper right corner, complemented by a scale bar cartouche in the upper left. Jacques Nicolas Bellin (1703-1772) served as Hydrographer to the King and was one of the most prominent French cartographers of the 18th century, producing maps noted for their accuracy, elegance, and clarity.

Italian Grand Tour Bronze “Porcellino” Boar After Pietro Tacca, Florence, Late 19th Century A finely cast Italian Grand Tour bronze reduction of the celebrated Florentine “Porcellino,” after the 17th-century model by Pietro Tacca, itself inspired by an ancient Roman copy of a Hellenistic Greek boar. This cabinet-scale sculpture captures the animal in a poised, alert stance, its head lowered and body subtly tensed, conveying both naturalism and latent energy. The surface is richly worked with deeply chased, rhythmic striations to suggest the boar’s coarse hide, highlighted by warm golden undertones and areas of natural verdigris, enhancing depth and visual movement. The figure rests on an integral naturalistic plinth, echoing the marshy base of the Florentine original...
