About the Item

Title: Tranquility in Monochrome – Plate VI from G. A. Audsley’s Japanese-Inspired Chromolithographic Collection Description: Plate VI from Section V of G. A. Audsley’s chromolithographic series presents a serene and elegant composition inspired by traditional Japanese design. Published by Sampson Low & Co. and printed by the renowned Lemercier & Cie, this artwork is a brilliant example of 19th-century decorative art that bridges Eastern aesthetics with Western craftsmanship. This monochromatic print depicts a delicate cherry blossom tree in bloom, its branches stretching gracefully over a woodgrain-textured background. Below, two pheasants add a touch of life to the tranquil scene, their fine details and elegant forms carefully rendered to evoke harmony with nature. The composition mirrors the Japanese tradition of minimalist beauty, emphasizing balance and subtlety. The absence of color draws attention to the intricate details of the design, showcasing Audsley’s mastery in capturing the essence of Japanese art while utilizing advanced Western chromolithographic techniques. Condition: The print is in excellent condition, with sharp details and minimal signs of aging. Light foxing in the margins is consistent with its age and does not detract from the overall beauty of the piece. Provenance: Published by Sampson Low & Co., printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris This rare and sophisticated piece is ideal for collectors of Japanese-inspired art or decorative prints. Perfect for framing, it will bring a timeless sense of calm and refinement to any space or collection.
