Reference: ART2002211

An exquisite, tall six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) with a painting on oxidized silver leaf presenting a winter scene.
The Chinese official, poet and calligrapher Toba, is riding his mule plodding through a snow-covered bamboo forest. Accompanied by an attendant carrying a bunch of scrolls and paper, looking directly towards the viewer.

Sealed on the left with two 4-character name seals in red.

The painting rendered in watercolour and ink on oxidized silver leaf. Silver leaf continuously undergoes the process of oxidation, which creates a beautiful aged patina. The screen is bordered by two brocade silk trims – a slender white one and a broader brown one, and is encased in a red lacquered wooden frame with protective hardware with engraved scrolling foliage design.

Total width: 375.2 cm (2 x 63.8 cm and 4 x 61.9 cm); Height: 171.3 cm.

Considering its age, it is in a very good condition with traces of wear conform age, and restorations. Like some restoration of the silver leaf, and re-strengthening of the hinges at the backside. Please have a close look at photos to have a clear impression of the condition.
