EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 19th century print showcases a Simplified Mandarin Duck in intricate detail. The Mandarin Duck, a native of East Asia, is known for its vibrant plumage and shy demeanor. In this image, the duck is depicted in a simplified design, with its distinctive crest feathers and colorful plumage accentuated through the use of hand carved ivory with staining sumi inlays and red pigment. The background is kept plain, allowing the duck to take center stage. The Mandarin Duck was a popular subject in Asian art, particularly in China and Japan, and was believed to symbolize good fortune and prosperity. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Asia during the 19th century. The duck's timid and elusive nature adds to its allure, making it a beloved subject for collectors and admirers of fine art. This studio shot captures the essence of the Mandarin Duck's beauty and elegance, transporting us to a time when such intricate handicrafts were the height of fashion and appreciation for the natural world. This rare and exquisite print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to collecting and preserving art from around the world.
