This traditional hanging scroll celebrates jewelry fan. The eye settles first on the fan. It earns its place among chinese mountain painting with a fan nearby.
It is a fine example of meticulous gongbi brushwork at its most expressive. Both meticulous gongbi brushwork and a lively palette are on display here, soft at the edges and precise where it counts. The painter adds delicate chrysanthemum and softly rendered jewelry for good measure. Two details: distant mountain, and bamboo in soft focus. The bamboo is a symbol of integrity that bends without breaking. The scroll's proportions suit the subject, tall and unhurried. Few decorations earn their wall space so gracefully. A fine example of how little a wall needs to say a lot.
