About the item
34 scenes, on paper, each featuring several figures in traditional dress disporting themselves amid landscapes (and, in a few instances, houses), all done by the same artist. Each picture is a separate scene; subjects include fishing, visiting, boating, farming, wrestling, courting, harvesting rice, and hunting--a particularly effective image shows a tiger hunt, and several scenes include wild and domestic animals. 1 vols. Images measure 8-3/4 x 7 inches plus margins bringing the overall page size to 11 x 8 inches. The mounted leaves are linked in the Oriental accordion fashion, and contained within two substantial wood covers. Fine condition.
Item #218778
A very interesting and engaging collection of genre scenes. The trees, rocks, and landscapes are particularly well rendered, and the figures are full of life.
