If landscape subjects are your thing, this silk wall-hanging scroll of Ukiyo-E Rider is worth a long look. The mounting follows the old style: silk borders framing the painted field, home to the pine. From the rider to the ukiyo-e, every passage serves the whole: a true traditional Chinese landscape painting. Notice the snow in the composition: unforced, exactly where it should be. Give it a week; it'll win you over.
Up close, snowy landscape and horse show the steadiest brushwork in the piece. Color does the talking here: pine laid on with restraint, the mark of Chinese landscape painting for home decor done well. A meditative quality runs through the entire composition. The painter tucks rider into the corners like a signature. A confident, quiet presence.
Hang it in the tea room and watch the space settle. Collectors of Chinese art will appreciate the honest craftsmanship — a fine addition to any tea room. In short: Ukiyo-E Rider, presented as a Chinese silk painting for home decor you'll keep for years. Simple, beautiful, done.
