Chinese Straw Thread Picture on Silk, framed in original box, late C20th
This is an attractive picture of Chinese Junks moored by a river bank with birds settled on one and seen flying away in the distance. The technique is unusual. On a silk ground, the detail of the image is rendered in fine straw threads with some of the features coloured in underneath. Great skill would have been required to work in this medium and far fewer examples exist than of the more standard silk thread images. The composition is pleasing but the clean, almost ‘modern’ lines of the picture suggest mid to late C20th work. The picture is fitted into a contemporary Chinese fabric covered box suggesting that it was it is framed in China at the same time as its production.| Size: | Picture 19.5 x 28.5 cm Frame 43.5 x 33.5 cm |
| Weight: | 1.65 kgs (together with box) |
| Date: | Late C20th |
| Condition: | Picture, mount and frame in good condition, some of the adhesive tape backing missing or loose |
| Estimate: | £30 – 40 |
