| The lurid wet ink shows clearly the boneless style which defines this artists greatest works. Gold flake is scattered delicately over the silk surface, almost unnoticeable yet bringing out the power in the scene. The ink on silk painting is bordered in patterned blue silk in a field of beige and features wooden rollers. Possibly originally an album page, it has been fully remounted at some time in the past (20th century). The scroll measures 14-1/2 by 40-1/4 inches (36.5 x 102 cm). Aside from some minor scattered spotting which blends with the brown tones of the silk, it is in excellent condition. Chinzan (1801-1854) was a student of Watanabe Kazan (1793-1841) and was known as a prominent figure in the literati movement. Works by him are held in the British Museum, the Cleveland Museum of Art, Tokyo National Museum, among many others. | |||||||||
