Description
This is painted on Xuan Paper with Chinese painting pigments. Xuan or rice paper, is a kind of paper originating in ancient China used for writing & painting. 'Xieyi' or freehand style also loosely termed watercolour or brush painting, & also known as 'literati painting', as it was one of the 'four arts' of the Chinese Scholar-official class. in theory this was an art practiced by gentlemen, a distinction that began to be made in writings on art from the Song dynasty. Gongbi, meaning 'meticulous', uses highly detailed brushstrokes that highlights details very precisely. It is often highly coloured & usually depicts figural or narrative subjects. The gongbi style had its beginnings approximately 2000 years ago during the Han dynasty (206 BC - 220 AD) when Han's political stability & prosperity favoured the advancement of the arts. Please note due to its size (33x65cm), this comes as unframed, we can have it framed though if you would like, with additional charge.
