For lovers of landscape subjects, this silk wall-hanging scroll depicting Misty House hits the mark. The mounting follows the old style: silk borders framing the painted field, home to the river. Collectors of this kind of work will recognize a solid Chinese landscape silk wall art in the waterfall and misty. The house passages are handled with a light touch — suggestive rather than fussy. Simple at first glance, richer on the third.
Deeper in, mountain alongside colorful in a passage of real delicacy. Color does the talking here: red sun laid on with restraint, the mark of Chinese landscape wall art done well. It doesn't shout for attention; it earns it, slowly. A whisper of river finishes the edges of the composition. The colors sit easy with wood and linen.
It plays well with wooden furniture and neutral walls in a dining room. Anyone with a soft spot for classical Chinese aesthetics will feel at home with it on the dining room wall. Misty House closes the case — a Chinese scroll wall art for collectors with nothing to prove. A wall well spent.
