Created by the renowned artist Tadatoshi, this masterpiece originated in China and is believed to date back to the 1810s. The image features a Chinese lion in a striking pose, with its paw raised to its mouth as if it's chewing or scratching an itch. The lion's regal expression and lifelike details are a testament to the artist's skillful hand carving techniques. The lion, a symbol of power and good fortune in Chinese culture, is depicted wearing ornate accessories and apparel, adding to its grandeur. The lion's clothing, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, reflects the fashion trends of the time. The wooden print, with its rich, warm tones, exudes a sense of history and heritage. This close-up studio shot offers a unique perspective on the intricacies of the carving, revealing the fine details that make this piece a true work of art. The lion's paw, with its individual fibers and textures, is a standout feature, showcasing the artist's attention to detail and mastery of the medium. This print is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of Asia and the artistry of the 19th century.
