About the Item
Evocative of chinoiserie fantasy and colonial-era visual storytelling, this vintage hand-painted four-panel screen presents a theatrical riverside court scene alive with cultural references and detail. Executed in vivid pigments on canvas over wood, the composition unfolds across a continuous landscape framed by lush palms and serene water. A central gathering of elegantly dressed figures sits beneath parasols at a formal table set with fruit baskets, flanked by attendants, soldiers, and merchants in traditional garb. To the right, a trio engaged in lively conversation beside bright red banners and a green draped table bearing limes and a glass of wine. At left, domestic activity unfolds: one figure stirs a pot, another carries a basket, while a monk ascends the stairs. The mood is narrative and decorative, with strong symmetry and visual rhythm, balanced by rich textile patterns and stylized foliage.
Likely created in China for the export market in the 20th century, the screen draws inspiration from earlier Qing dynasty and European chinoiserie painting traditions. The surface shows appealing craquelure, enhancing its vintage charm. Ideal as a room divider or wall-mounted artwork, this piece is both functional and richly ornamental.
