This silk scroll presents red sky green mountain with quiet confidence. The mountain gives the piece its immediate charm. It earns its place among traditional chinese figure art with softly rendered mountain.
It is a fine example of colorful ink at its most poised. Do not miss hazy green mountain, or distant red sky tucked nearby. Two details: a scholar in flowing robes, and distant people. Do not overlook a crane at rest. Traditionally, the crane is longevity's best-known symbol. Silk lends the whole image a gentle, light-catching texture. Tones are mellow, the way good scrolls tend to be. The scroll's vertical line draws the eye upward, lifting the room.
This red sky green mountain scroll belongs on any shortlist of chinese scroll painting. It rounds out a grouping of traditional chinese wall art nicely, with the green mountain as a highlight. It adds culture to a rental without a single nail hole drama. Give it alongside good tea for a gift with a theme.
