A Six-panel Silver Leaf Folding Screen Depicting A River Landscape
A spectacular six-panel byobu by the Kano school, dating to the Edo period, painted in ink and pigments on paper with a silver leaf ground. A winding river meanders gracefully across the screen, weaving through rocky outcrops, reed beds, bamboo groves, pine trees, and luxuriant seasonal blossoms.
Pairs of quails wander through the grasses along the riverbank, while small birds soar across the sky. Water lilies, chrysanthemums, and flowering shrubs alternate along the shores, creating a richly varied landscape that evokes the quiet beauty of the changing seasons.
Period: Edo, first half of the 19th century.
Dimensions: 170 x 369 cm.
Condition report: The screen is in good condition. The surface shows staining, minor tears, and oxidation. The silver leaf has been restored between the fifth and sixth panels. The lacquered frame displays minor wear consistent with age.
