Title: Antique Japanese Kabuki Print: Enigmatic Woman with Scroll and Spider, 19th Century Description: This stunning 19th-century Japanese print depicts a striking scene from kabuki theater or folklore, rendered with vivid color and dramatic elegance. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and lithographed in Paris by Imp. Lemercier & Cie under the direction of G. A. Audsley, this piece captures a moment of intense narrative and refined artistry.
