Rendered on fine silk, tea cup cage makes a striking wall scroll. Right away, the robe sets the tone for the whole scroll. As gongbi flower painting goes, a carefully placed robe gives this one real presence.
Handled with fine-line gongbi, the scene stays fresh on every viewing. Both fine-line gongbi and rich color are on display here, restrained yet full of life. The painter adds a cockatoo in gentle motion and a cage nearby for good measure. Among the finer touches are a tea cup close at hand and a carefully placed table. The vertical format gives the scene room to breathe. The piece feels honest, without pretense or gimmick. There is warmth here, even in the cooler tones.
Those who follow chinese brush painting will recognize the quality of this tea cup cage scroll at once. Among your asian wall art scroll, a cockatoo at rest will hold its own. A lovely choice for a first piece of Chinese art. A fine pick for anyone furnishing a first apartment with character.
