AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An exceptional tall six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen), featuring an elegant Rinpa School-style autumn landscape with a family of quail 鹑 (uzura) sheltering amongst luxuriant flowering plants against a richly mottled gold leaf ground with an attractive aged patina.
The composition is arranged across a gently rolling landscape enlivened by softly drifting gold leaf clouds. At the left, a flourishing stand of white peonies 牡丹 (botan) above clusters of Japanese dwarf bamboo 笹 (sasa), bellflowers 桔梗 (kikyô). Beneath the foliage, five quail forage and rest amongst the undergrowth, while two others take flight across the centre of the screen. To the right, a dark meandering stream winds through the landscape towards low distant hills dotted with young pine trees.
Executed in mineral pigments and ink on mulberry paper with gold leaf. The screen is mounted with a narrow gold silk border and a wider orange-gold silk brocade border, and enclosed within a black lacquered wooden frame fitted with gilt metal protective mounts. The painting dates to the 18th century (Edo period), while the frame was refurbished at a later date.
Period: Japan - 18th century (Edo period)
Dimensions: Height: 174.1 cm; Total width: 337.0 cm (2 x 57.5 cm, 4 x 55.5 cm)
Considering its age, the screen is in very good restored condition with age-appropriate wear on both sides. The gold leaf shows expected craquelure and minor losses, consistent with its age. Please study the photographs carefully for a detailed impression of its condition.
The folding screen is ideal for mounting flat on a wall and presenting as a single work of art, but can of course also be placed as a standalone piece.
When shipped, we will include a certificate of authenticity.
