ABOUT PRODUCTID 1925
This early 20th-century Japanese watercolor, created during the Meiji era (1868–1912), depicts a scene with three monkeys rendered on paper. The painting itself measures 20 × 22 cm and is presented in a new, professionally crafted wooden silvered frame with a matte finish and a wide light beige passe-partout (32 × 36 cm). The composition is set in a warm palette of sepia and beige, with the monkeys delicately executed in shades of gray and brown, their fur and facial expressions finely detailed. The background remains minimal, with faint strokes suggesting grass, drawing the viewer’s attention to the animals. The artist’s signature and a red seal in the lower left corner confirm the work’s authenticity. Both the painting and its frame are in excellent condition, with no visible wear, discoloration, or signs of aging. The piece seems to echo the quiet voice of early modern Japan—a time when tradition was gently intersecting with a new awareness of nature’s fleeting moments. The naturalistic brushwork reflects the Meiji period’s reverence for everyday life and the animal world, embodying the era’s values of simplicity and harmony. The artist’s subtle gestures transform an ephemeral scene into a lasting mark of memory, while the muted colors invite a sense of contemplation and stillness to any interior. This watercolor would serve as a focal point above a low sideboard or in a living room lounge area, where its gentle hues can be paired with light woods and natural textiles. It may be complemented by minimalist Japanese-inspired accessories, ceramics, or frosted glass pieces, as well as by simple graphic prints with quiet, geometric lines.
