Japan, an early six-panel screen Byobu depicting 22 Horses frolicking among mountains and pines. This attractive screen dates to the Edo period, circa 1850.

Horses are a scarce motif for Japanese screens and we are pleased to have found this one on our last Japanese acquisitions travels. We have its matching six panel screen also currently available at this time. Please write for details if interested.

It is simple yet beautifully painted with a handsome gold mist background created by a skillful artist painter.

Red seals are present on the lower left panel.

Dimensions: 68 high and 150 inches wide extended.

Enticing and rare subject matter, this painting is skillfully and tastefully rendered in mineral paint pigments on paper and with a muted soft gold mist tone painted background. The original silk brocade border is present. Black lacquered wood with engraved bronze corner mounts nicely frame this serene and rare equine composition. Please look at the photographs closely that reveal all 22 horses.
