AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A lovely, tall six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) featuring a Shijô School-style painting of a serene winter scene with ducks floating in open water. A group of ducks are seen bobbing in an icy blue lake, some quacking, sleeping, fishing with their heads down and tails up, or arriving in flight. On the left side of the scene, withered reeds serve as a reminder of the cold season. The horizon is beautifully accentuated by translucent clouds, creating a misty atmosphere.
The painting is signed and sealed in the lower left corner with ‘Goshun’ 呉春. This signature and seal were used by the founder of the Shijô School, Matsumura Goshun 松村呉春, also known as Matsumura Gekkei 松村月渓. While this screen is not an original work by his hand, it serves as an homage to his name.
Surrounded by a broad brocade silk border in blue with a crane design. Protected by a black lacquered wooden frame with thin light brown edges.
Period: Japan – Meiji period, around 1900.
Dimensions
Total width: 378 cm (2 x 64.6 cm, 4 x 62.2 cm); Height: 180 cm.
It is in a very good condition with traces of wear conform age, some discolorations and small restorations, like small re-papered patch on the back side. For a clear condition reference, please refer to the photos.
The folding screen is ideal for mounting flat on a wall and presenting as a single work of art.
When shipped we will add a certificate of authenticity.
