About the Item

The setting, the detail, and the sense of conflict and mystery make this painting compelling. There is a contrast throughout the painting of softness and a hard edge. The trees and the grassy area reflect a landscape that is serene as they peek from behind the structure. The stage contains sharp weapons and a hardness as one man seems to brandish a small knife. We are deprived of information in the writing in another language surrounding the armory. And again we see softness with the ample drapes and somewhat refined design of the armory stage. The appraiser says it combines Western perspective and shadowing with Eastern imagery. The setting connotes conflict or action, but the color palette is calm in earth and green tones. The dress of the two figures is Southeast Asian - Thai or Laotian. It is antique from the late 19th century--Southeast Asian landscape, ink on vellum. Centering two figures in a raised armory with Fu Lion motif and character inscriptions. It measures 24 inches tall by 33 1/2 inches wide in a beautiful burl and gilt frame. This painting is in excellent condition given the period it was created. The colors are sharp, and there are no condition issues. This painting was acquired from the estate of a Southern California Collector in Redondo Beach, CA.
