About the Item

Title: Nature's Elegance with Japanese Aesthetics – Plate V from G. A. Audsley’s Chromolithographic Collection Description: Plate V from Section V of G. A. Audsley’s chromolithographic masterpiece captures the essence of Japanese-inspired decorative art with exceptional precision and detail. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed by the prestigious Lemercier & Cie in Paris, this chromolithograph is a testament to the artistic synergy of Eastern design principles and Western printing techniques. The composition centers around a naturalistic depiction of a bird perched delicately on a stalk adorned with lotus seed pods and curling foliage. The background, rendered in a textured, earthy red hue, enhances the depth and provides a dramatic contrast to the intricate botanical details. The curling leaves, delicate flowers, and the bird's soft plumage exhibit the meticulous craftsmanship that defines Audsley’s work. The inclusion of Japanese-style seals further reinforces the influence of Japanese art on this piece. This plate is a harmonious celebration of nature, combining aesthetic elegance with technical brilliance. It is a perfect example of how 19th-century artists like Audsley embraced Japanese motifs and incorporated them into their work. Condition: The print is in very good condition with vibrant colors and sharp details. Slight foxing in the margins is consistent with its age but does not affect the beauty of the artwork. Provenance: Published by Sampson Low & Co., printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris This chromolithograph is ideal for collectors and admirers of Japanese-inspired decorative art, offering a timeless piece of 19th-century creativity and craftsmanship. It is suitable for framing and display, bringing a sense of refined beauty to any space or collection.
