Japanese Two Panel Screen: Chrysanthemums Over Twig Fence

This exquisite Japanese two-panel screen, titled "Chrysanthemums Over Twig Fence," is a stunning example of late 19th-century artistry, dating to approximately 1880. The screen features a vibrant depiction of abundant white and occasional red chrysanthemums gracefully sprawling over a rustic twig fence, set against a shimmering ground of gold dust. The delicate details of the blossoms and foliage are rendered with mineral pigments on mulberry paper, creating a rich and nuanced visual texture. Adding to its elegance, the screen is bordered by a beautiful silk brocade and finished with a sleek black lacquer trim, enhancing its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity. This piece comes from the distinguished collection of Moke Mokotoff.
