About the Item

Title: Moonlit Fishing Scene – Plate IV from G. A. Audsley’s Chromolithographic Collection with Japanese Inspiration Description: This stunning chromolithograph, Plate IV from Section V, showcases the artistic direction of G. A. Audsley, published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed by the esteemed Lemercier & Cie in Paris. The piece exemplifies the influence of Japanese aesthetics, particularly in its composition, delicate detailing, and atmospheric mood. The artwork portrays a tranquil nocturnal scene illuminated by a luminous full moon, with winding golden clouds reflecting the Japanese artistic tradition of integrating natural elements with elegance and subtlety. Two figures, dressed in traditional Japanese-inspired garments, are engaged in fishing. One figure wields a net on a pole, poised to catch fish from a flowing stream, while the other figure attends to a large basket, possibly preparing to store their catch. A pair of ducks rests nearby, adding a sense of harmony to the composition. The dark background highlights the intricate details and golden accents, creating a striking contrast that draws the viewer's attention to the vivid imagery. This chromolithograph is a masterful blend of Western printing techniques and Japanese design principles, making it a rare and captivating example of cross-cultural artistic influence. Ideal for collectors and enthusiasts of 19th-century decorative art, it captures both the technical brilliance and the creative spirit of its era. Condition: The print is in very good condition, with vibrant colors and intricate details well-preserved. Light foxing is present in the margins but does not detract from the overall aesthetic appeal of the artwork. Provenance: Published by Sampson Low & Co., printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris This rare and visually compelling work is perfect for framing or as part of a curated collection of antique prints, offering a timeless blend of elegance and artistic innovation.
