About the Item

Title: Antique Japanese Waterfowl Print: Tranquil Duck in Reeds, 19th Century Description: This serene and beautifully detailed 19th-century Japanese print captures a tranquil moment of a lone duck gliding gently across calm waters, surrounded by delicate reeds and reflections. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and lithographed in Paris by Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this exquisite piece was produced with an eye for both naturalism and the refined aesthetic that characterizes traditional Japanese art. The print’s composition is a study in quiet balance—where the gentle ripples in the water, the gentle arch of the reeds, and the soft plumage of the duck work in harmony to evoke a scene of peaceful solitude. The duck, rendered in earthy browns and greens, emerges gracefully from the muted tones of the water, a subtle interplay of color and texture that highlights the artist’s skill in conveying natural beauty. The decorative blue and gold border adds an elegant frame, enhancing the print’s sophisticated presentation and providing a visual link to the ornamental textiles of Japan. This print is not only a testament to the beauty of the natural world but also a reflection of the Japanese reverence for seasonal changes and the creatures that inhabit them. The careful composition and delicate color palette will appeal to collectors of antique prints, Asian art, and nature studies, offering a calming presence that invites contemplation. Condition Report: The print is in good condition, with minimal signs of aging such as light foxing especially along the margins. The colors remain rich and the image clear, preserving the refined artistry of this beautiful scene. Framing Tips: Choose a simple, dark wooden or black frame to complement the subtle colors and natural themes of the print. A white or ivory mat will create a clean border, accentuating the delicate lines and adding to the timeless elegance of this tranquil composition.
