| A 'furosaki' or tea-ceremony screen from the first half of the 20th century. Washes of ink tinged with soft colors form the late autumn foliage of a Japanese oak tree whilst the jay has been rendered in naturalistic detail with ink, gofun and rich pigments. The artist has chosen a roughly woven silk ground as the painting surface which is highly unusual and adds a tangible depth and texture to the refined painting. Delightful seasonal imagery for the tea ceremony. The screen is in good to very good condition and ready to be hung and enjoyed. There is light foxing present on the silk. The screen stands 27" high and measures 69" across (69 by 176 cm). The painting is signed Taigaku though we haven't been able to unearth any further information. | |||||||||
