Original Description
Charles William Bartlett’s Le Petit Déjeuner envelops viewers in an intimate yet luminous moment of everyday serenity. Painted circa 1917-1920 during Bartlett’s time in Japan, this woodblock print exemplifies his mastery of shin-hanga (new prints), a movement blending Japanese ukiyo-e traditions with Western compositional techniques. The scene depicts a woman in a kimono seated at a low table, her posture graceful as she prepares tea, bathed in soft morning light filtering through shoji screens. Bartlett’s delicate lines and muted yet harmonious palette—predominantly ochres, blues, and creams—evoke tranquility, while the flattened perspective nods to Japonisme’s influence on Western art. Historically, Le Petit Déjeuner bridges early 20th-century cross-cultural artistic dialogues, showcasing Bartlett’s role in popularizing Japanese aesthetics globally. Its quiet elegance and technical precision make it a standout piece in the shin-hanga canon.
For interior styling, this artwork thrives in spaces designed for contemplation—a minimalist study, a serene bedroom, or a wellness-oriented office. Its muted tones pair effortlessly with natural materials like light wood, linen, or rattan, enhancing the print’s warmth. Frame it in a slim, ash-toned wood to maintain its subtlety, or opt for a wabi-sabi-inspired ceramic frame for added texture. Ideal at a modest scale (typical woodblock dimensions: ~25x38 cm), it works as a focal point above a console table or layered among larger neutral artworks for tonal cohesion. To echo its palette, introduce indirect lighting and accent pieces in indigo or celadon. Avoid busy surroundings; let Bartlett’s quiet poetry set the mood.
