About the Item

This striking six-panel Chinese folding screen showcases a vibrant painted scene of six individually depicted horses, each rendered in expressive motion within their stables. Likely inspired by Japanese screen compositions but executed in China during the 20th century, the design emphasizes symmetry, stylization, and a narrative rhythm. The horses—painted in a range of colors including white, dapple gray, chestnut, ochre, and black—are portrayed with dynamic postures, secured with decorative leads to architectural posts. Each is enclosed in a stable rendered with dramatic perspective lines, giving the composition a sense of spatial depth. Above the stables, a golden backdrop painted with bamboo groves and warm-toned skies evokes a peaceful and timeless atmosphere, creating a vivid contrast to the lower section’s structured, interior geometry. The stylized clouds, twisted ropes, and ornamental barriers suggest a ceremonial or symbolic setting, potentially referencing imperial or spiritual significance. Painted on paper and mounted in a traditional folding format, this piece balances ornamental flair with painterly detail. Ideal for display as a statement wall element, it reflects a synthesis of Chinese craftsmanship and Japanese compositional influence, and invites appreciation for its detailed figuration and rhythmic layout.
