Title: Japanese Woman and Child Figurine – Plate VII, Section VIII
Description: A beautiful lithograph depicting a Japanese woman in a traditional kimono adorned with intricate floral and geometric patterns. She leans gracefully, holding a decorative hand fan while engaging with a playful child at her feet. The child's expression captures a moment of joy, adding a tender and humanizing element to the scene.
The kimono's design, with shades of green, gold, and cream, is a masterpiece of detail, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The lithograph, produced by Sampson Low & Co. and printed by Lemercier & Cie in Paris, exemplifies 19th-century craftsmanship and the Western fascination with Japanese art.
Condition: Very good, with light foxing on the edges. Provenance: Published by Sampson Low & Co., printed by Lemercier & Cie, Paris.
A touching piece that would enhance collections centered on Japanese culture, mother-and-child themes, or 19th-century lithographic works.
