An ancient Japanese watercolour dating from the late 19th century, created around 1900 during the Meiji era, depicting a refined floral composition combining several plant species, including a stylised pink flower and yellow blooms, treated with finesse and balance. The work is hand-painted on very fine and delicate ancient Japanese paper, a traditional medium of this period, offering a subtle texture and a soft diffusion of pigments. The palette blends nuanced greens, delicate pinks, and bright yellows, in a style characteristic of the Japanese botanical aesthetic of the late Meiji era. The watercolour is presented under glass in a vintage gilded wooden frame, with an aged patina, showing signs of use and minor visible wear consistent with its age. The overall dimensions are approximately 33 × 43 cm, including the frame. The general condition is good for an old work, with slight signs of time on the paper and frame, without tears or significant losses.
