Description
Six paintings mounted as six-panel screen; ink and mineral pigments on paper. Mineral pigments hold a special value, and their incorporation to impart texture and depth to this artwork underlines the screen's exceptional quality and significance. The paper employed in crafting this screen, dating back more than a century, has developed a rich brown-gold hue, beautifully complemented by the mineral-infused chrysanthemums that retain their vividness, resulting in an unexpected and distinguished aura.
