About the Item

Title: Japanese Monk and Young Attendant: Antique Lithograph, 1880s Description: This atmospheric lithograph from the 1880s presents a serene scene featuring a robed monk and his young attendant walking beneath a starlit sky. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the esteemed Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this work was directed by G. A. Audsley, who captured the quiet dignity and spiritual symbolism of traditional Japanese life. The monk, dressed in rich, flowing brown robes with a serene expression, carries a basket of red fruits—a possible symbol of sustenance and spiritual offering. His youthful attendant, clad in a finely patterned red robe, follows behind with respectful composure. Set against a landscape of gently swaying palms and a distant mountain range, the composition creates a tranquil yet evocative scene that suggests both a journey and a meditative pause. The detailed lithographic technique beautifully conveys the subtle textures of the robes, the soft glow of the night sky, and the stylized botanical forms that frame the figures. The fine gold stippling throughout the background adds a touch of shimmering magic, reminiscent of the interplay between the spiritual and natural worlds in Japanese art. This lithograph is a testament to the fascination with Japanese culture that swept through Europe during the late 19th century, reflecting a harmonious blend of spiritual themes, refined design, and a deep appreciation for the natural world. It would be a captivating addition to any collection of Japanese art, antique prints, or a refined interior that celebrates both calm and artistry. Condition report: Very good condition overall, with some slight foxing and minor edge wear typical for prints of this era. The colors remain rich and the fine details of the composition are exceptionally well-preserved. Framing tips: Frame this lithograph in a simple black or dark wood frame to complement the warm, earthy tones and highlight the quiet elegance of the scene. A soft cream or warm beige mat will create a subtle contrast that enhances the timeless sense of peace and contemplation this print conveys.
