Ancient Japanese watercolour, Iris, Meiji era, around 1900, 33 × 43 cm

An ancient Japanese watercolour created around 1900, during the Meiji era, depicting an elegant floral composition centred on a blue iris. The work is hand-painted on very fine and delicate ancient Japanese paper, a traditional medium of this period, revealing a subtle texture and a beautiful diffusion of pigments. The palette combines deep blues with nuanced greens, enhanced by fine floral touches. The watercolour is presented under glass in a vintage gilded wooden frame, with an aged patina, showing signs of use and minor wear consistent with its age. The overall dimensions are approximately 33 × 43 cm, including the frame. The general condition is good for a work of this era, with slight traces of time visible on the paper and frame, without any notable tears or missing parts.
