In a single frame two elegant works of Asian Art are custom-matted and professionally framed under glass.
The painting on paper depicts a stunning mountainous landscape in green, blue and brown of huge soaring cliffs with boats on a water passage. Small traditional Chinese dwellings dot the foreground ridge. The original hand-painted ink and color on paper measures 11” x 15” and includes lines of script and red seals.
Adjacent is a beautiful fragile textured leaf-painting, crafted by hand, depicting a similar mountainous landscape and watercourse. This is expertly crafted on a thin, delicate, perfectly formed banyan tree leaf. This is a fine example of the Chinese art of leaf vein painting topped with characters and red seal. It is mounted on white background and measures 5.5” x 11”.
Ready for wall display with secure metal wire and hardware. The back has been long sealed to protect the watercolors from dust and moisture.
I don't know the age of the artwork. A friend's mom had it framed in the 1980s.
Thanks for looking.
