EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century Chinese lion print showcases the intricate artistry and craftsmanship of the time. The lion, a powerful and revered symbol in Chinese culture, is depicted in a resting position, its body adorned with intricate carvings and decorative elements. The lion's mane is a riot of colors, with red, gold, and black dominating the design. The lion's clothing, featuring a richly embroidered collar and cuffs, adds an elegant touch to the piece. The lion is carved from wood, with each detail meticulously hand-carved, resulting in a lifelike and striking representation of the animal. The lion's eyes are inlaid with black stones, adding depth and character to the piece. The accessories, such as the collar and the knotted rope around its neck, are also intricately carved, adding to the overall beauty of the print. This Chinese lion print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of China during the 18th century. It is a reminder of the importance of traditional crafts and the skill and dedication of the artisans who created such masterpieces. The lion's regal posture and intricate decoration make it a true work of art, worthy of display in any museum or art collection. This image of the Chinese lion is a studio shot, taken at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is currently housed and admired by visitors from around the world. The print is a valuable addition to LACMA's extensive collection of Asian art and decorative arts, and is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Asia and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
