Traditional South Asian Woman Portrait Lithograph with Red Seal

About the Item

This traditional Asian woman portrait lithograph features a subject wearing a high black hat on a green background. A red and blue rectangular piece of fabric is prominently displayed on the front of the headdress, adding a pop of color to the otherwise black ensemble. The headdress is intricate and detailed, contrasting with the simplicity of the black outfit, which opens to reveal a lighter undershirt with ethnic patterns. The subject has a modest expression and gazes off to the side with slightly open eyes. The piece shows a red seal on the bottom right. It is illegibly signed unless you speak her language.

  • The Woman and the Peacock Lithograph by Mr. Blackwell 114/250
    Located in Pasadena, CA
    Utilizing the peacock as an emblematic Art Nouveau animal, a favorite of early 20th-century illustrators and designers, Mr. Blackwell, who was born in 1925, delivers a powerfully aesthetic scene between a woman and a peacock in this lithograph, paying homage to both Art Nouveau and Art Deco. He was among others an American fashion critic, television/radio personality, and fashion designer. We can imagine that this drawing was a study for a dress paying homage to the myth and quintessence of the beauty found within peacock feathers. Like any artist, there is a story, structure, composition, and arrangement of the woman and the peacock, creating an iridescent visual of blue, green, and yellow, a dialogue between forms, curves, and lines. It is said that the Eye on the bird’s feathers reminds us that God is always watching. The off-white background is sober, crossed by two simple circular colored shapes, in the lower part. The two subjects initially appear as one entity, but as we move into the scene, we see that the woman is holding the peacock under her arm as one might hold an accessory. Then very quickly, it appears as the main figure, taking over the entire narrative rather than an accessory or a secondary figure. The peacock's regal posture, with its unfurled feathers, contrasts with the woman's near imbalance, almost as if she was fainting. It could also be interpreted as an intimate and seductive dance, where the two subjects come together as one to pay homage to a poetic and metaphorical world where aesthetics, fashion, and onirism converge. Did you know that peacocks use...
