A Pine Tree and Camellias c. 1815

"A Pine Tree and Camellias" is a beautiful and delicate woodblock print by Japanese artist Niwa Tokei, created around 1815. The artwork showcases the artist's mastery of detail and subtle color gradients, depicting a lush pine tree with its branches adorned with blooming camellias. The artist's signature "Tokei" is in a red seal in the top right corner of the print. This piece is a prime example of the artistic movement known as the "ukiyo-e" style, which focused on capturing the fleeting beauty of the natural world.
