Title: Japanese Peacocks in Full Plumage: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
Description: This exquisite lithograph from the 1880s showcases a pair of majestic Japanese peacocks in full plumage, an enduring symbol of beauty, dignity, and refinement in Japanese art. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by the esteemed Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this piece was directed by G. A. Audsley, a British artist renowned for his deep appreciation and masterful interpretation of Japanese design.
At the heart of the composition are two resplendent peacocks, their elaborate green and gold tail feathers fanned out against a rich indigo background. Each feather is meticulously detailed, with vibrant eyespots shimmering like precious jewels. The peacocks are surrounded by delicate, soft pink blossoms and a weathered green rock, creating a serene natural setting that evokes the tranquility of traditional Japanese gardens. The scene is framed by a sophisticated border pattern of stylized gold motifs on a black field, adding to the sense of luxury and refinement.
This lithograph is part of a celebrated portfolio that introduced Western audiences to the beauty of Japanese decorative arts, marking the height of the Japonisme movement in the 19th century. The harmonious blend of color, pattern, and form demonstrates Audsley’s artistic skill and the cross-cultural dialogue that defined this era. Collectors of Japanese art and enthusiasts of Meiji-era design will find this piece a remarkable example of refined artistry and historic significance.
Condition report:
Very good condition with light foxing and faint age-related spots at the edges, typical for prints of this era. The colors remain vivid and the image is crisp, beautifully highlighting the elegant detail of the peacocks.
Framing tips:
To complement the luxurious palette and detailed border, consider a gold or dark wood frame with a neutral matting in soft cream or warm beige. This will accentuate the deep blues and vibrant greens, making the print a stunning focal point in any collection or decor.
