AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A Japanese two-panel byōbu folding screen painted on silk, depicting a pair of ducks in flight above a pond surrounded by lotus flowers, aquatic foliage, reeds, and peony blossoms.
The composition is distinguished by delicate colour gradations and meticulous attention to the birds’ plumage and botanical details.
The softly graduated background lends luminosity to the scene, while the vegetation is concentrated on the right, balancing the diagonal movement of the two ducks.
Signed Yoshito in the lower right corner.
The screen can also be easily mounted on a wall or used as a room divider.
Byōbu (屏風), literally “wind protection screens,” are traditional Japanese folding screens originally created to divide spaces and today appreciated above all as striking wall-mounted paintings.
---The byobu is in good condition. There are minor signs of wear along the joints between the two panels and on the lacquered frame. The paper backing also shows some defects. Please refer to the pictures for further details.
The item will be carefully packed and shipped via DHL or FedEx, accompanied by the original certificate of authenticity issued by Mastromauro Japanese art gallery based in Milan, Italy.
