A fine silk scroll portraying hill grass in the classical Chinese manner. The scroll announces itself with distant roaring lion. Softly rendered roaring lion places it firmly among the finer ink wash landscape scroll. It carries itself with the ease of a classic.
Ink touched with mineral color sets the tone here, restrained yet full of life. Do not miss delicate grass, or hazy hill tucked nearby. The vertical format gives the scene room to breathe. The details feel discovered rather than arranged. There is warmth here, even in the cooler tones.
It is a natural fit for anyone drawn to asian wall art scroll, and hill grass is the draw. It keeps good company with other traditional chinese wall art; sprays of grass adds quiet interest. In a restaurant or teahouse it would feel right at home. It adds culture to a rental without a single nail hole drama.
