About the Item

Title: Japanese Geese in Calm Elegance: Antique Lithograph, 1880s This captivating lithograph presents a serene scene of two Japanese geese, rendered with exquisite detail and precision. Published in the 1880s by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the renowned Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this artwork was directed by the talented British artist G. A. Audsley. Audsley's profound fascination with Japanese art and design resonates deeply in this piece, which is part of a larger portfolio celebrating the refined beauty of Japanese decorative arts during the Meiji period. The composition features two geese depicted in a moment of quiet repose. One goose stands tall and elegant, while the other rests its head along its back, evoking a sense of peaceful coexistence and stillness. The careful gradation of color on their feathers—from rich browns to subtle creams and delicate greys—speaks to the exceptional artistry and attention to naturalistic detail that characterize this print. The neutral brown background is punctuated by a striking geometric border in blue and gold, reminiscent of traditional Japanese textile designs and adding a striking sense of sophistication to the piece. This lithograph exemplifies the spirit of Japonisme that swept through Europe in the late 19th century, blending Western printing mastery with Japanese aesthetic influences. Its harmonious color palette and delicate composition make it an outstanding addition to any art collection, whether for lovers of Japanese art, collectors of antique lithographs, or those who appreciate the cross-cultural dialogues of the 19th century. Condition report: Overall very good condition with light foxing and age-related spots around the edges. The main image remains bright and beautifully preserved, with crisp, detailed coloring that conveys the natural grace of these geese. Framing tips: Enhance the refined elegance of this lithograph with a simple wooden frame in a deep brown or soft gold finish. A neutral matting in beige or off-white will further emphasize the gentle tones of the geese and the rich detail of the geometric border, creating a timeless and sophisticated display.
