Description
An extraordinary, highly collectible investment-grade set of four (4) original Japanese surimono miniature woodblock prints by internationally renowned master artist Paul Jacoulet. Famous for combining centuries-old Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock printing mastery with early-20th-century Parisian Art Deco illustrative elegance, Jacoulet's small-format surimono works were executed to the exact same rigorous, high-luxury artisanal standards as his full-sized museum editions.

Le Nid, Coree (The Nest, Korea) - A tender, detailed ethnographic depiction of an elderly Korean man gently tending to a nest of hatchlings, paired with his official artist seal.
Femme de la Haute Societe (Elite Court Lady Portrait) - A dramatic, high-contrast portrait showcasing intricate gauffrage cloth details set against a vivid pink, cloud-patterned background, bearing his characteristic pencil signature and red seal.
Orchidees Blanches, Jaluit (White Orchids, Jaluit Island) - A beautiful South Seas composition depicting a tropical native woman holding a scarlet bird amidst patterned floral blooms, complete with his coordinating thematic seal.
Each rare impression features hand-inked signatures and specific thematic seals corresponding to Jacoulet's personal design catalog.
