Title: Japanese Woman in Plum Blossom Grove: Antique Lithograph, 1880s
Description:
This elegant lithograph from the 1880s beautifully portrays a Japanese woman draped in a delicately patterned kimono, standing amid a grove of plum blossoms in bloom. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed in Paris by Imp. Lemercier & Cie, this exquisite work was directed by G. A. Audsley, a prominent British artist known for his deep appreciation of Japanese art.
The woman, rendered in warm golden and earthy brown tones, is captured in a moment of tranquil contemplation. Her figure is framed by the twisting branches of a flowering plum tree, its delicate blossoms softly illuminated against the deep black background. The careful detailing of the kimono’s subtle patterns and the sensitive shading of the woman’s face and posture highlight the quiet refinement of Meiji-era design.
The atmospheric composition of this lithograph evokes the timeless beauty of Japanese poetry and painting, where nature and human presence are harmoniously intertwined. The gentle glow of the plum blossoms against the night sky and the figure’s serene expression offer a meditative glimpse into a world of seasonal transitions and elegant calm.
This lithograph stands as a refined example of the Japonisme movement that captivated European audiences in the late 19th century, offering a window into the cultural dialogue between East and West and the enduring allure of Japanese art and tradition.

Antique Japanese Kabuki Print: Enigmatic Woman with Scroll and Spider, ca.1882
Located in Langweer, NL
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.
The print features a woman dressed in an elaborate kimono adorned with intricate floral patterns, her flowing hair and serious expression hinting at a story of mystery and transformation. She holds an impossibly long scroll covered with fine calligraphy, unspooling to the ground where a small spider lurks—an ominous presence that likely alludes to the famous kabuki tale of Jorogumo, the spider spirit that takes the form of a beautiful woman to ensnare her victims.
The color palette of deep blacks, rich reds, and soft greens enhances the print’s sense of drama, while the finely rendered spiderweb background reinforces the supernatural atmosphere. The precision of the linework and the texture of the print exemplify the best of late 19th-century Japanese color printing, merging traditional Japanese themes with European lithographic techniques.
