About the Item

A sublime Japanese two panel "Magpie and Peony" screen, ink and color on paper, Edo Period, late 18th or early 19th century, circa 1800, Japan. The two panel screen features a wonderful scene of blossoming red and white peony growing from a rocky outcrop to one side. The other side with a single charming white-faced magpie perched on a delicate stalk of bamboo overhanging a slow moving stream. The red and white peonies pop against the neutral ground. The bamboo seems to bend under the minuscule weight of the black and white magpie. The painting's composition and style is based on Chinese 12th century Song Dynasty bird and flower paintings, and influenced by "one-corner" styles. As with most Chinese and Japanese paintings, each bird, flower, and plant has a special meaning. In this case, the magpie symbolizes joy and happiness. Bamboo is a sign of resilience and longevity. It is also a homonym for "to wish". Peony is highly regarded with many meanings, including beauty, honor, and wealth. The painting can be read as "wishes for a long and happy life filled with beauty and prosperity". Mounted as a two panel screen. The painting with a gilt paper border within a fabric brocade border, and framed in black lacquer with metal mounts.
