This hanging scroll is a lovely rendering of ribbon wave. You notice hazy fairy first, before the smaller details surface. As chinese beauty wall art goes, the fairy gives this one real presence.
You can feel fine-line gongbi in every stroke. Do not miss distant goddess, or a woman in flowing robes tucked nearby. The painter adds softly rendered wave and hazy water for good measure. The details reward a second look: a ribbon close at hand. It arrives as a finished hanging scroll, ready for the wall. It asks nothing of the viewer but attention. It rewards the collector who looks twice.
Anyone hunting for chinese brush painting will find this ribbon wave scroll worth a close look. For a growing collection of silk scroll wall hanging, the goddess is a fine addition. It transitions gracefully from apartment to forever home. It pairs naturally with wooden furniture and neutral walls.
