EDITORS COMMENTS
This Seated Chinese Lion print, hailing from the Late 19th century, showcases the rich artistic heritage of Asia during this period. The creator of this masterpiece remains unknown, adding to its allure and mystery. The lion, a powerful symbol of strength and courage in Chinese culture, is depicted in an intricately detailed and lifelike manner. Its piercing stare, accentuated by expressive eyebrows and a bushy mustache, conveys a sense of fierce determination. This ceramic sculpture, made from Hirado Mikawachi Ware or Hirado Ware, is a prime example of the porcelain artistry that flourished in Japan during the nineteenth century. The Seated Chinese Lion is adorned with a stunning blue and light green tinged glaze, adding an element of vibrancy and elegance to its design. The lion's body, with its muscular form and detailed textures, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the unknown artist. The close-up view of the lion's face, with its intricately rendered facial features, invites the viewer to appreciate the fine details and craftsmanship that went into creating this work of art. This Seated Chinese Lion is now a cherished piece in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The lion's enduring presence serves as a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of China and Japan, and the importance of preserving and celebrating the cultural traditions of the past.
