5’3 wide X 34 inches height
Hello, this item is a large four-panel East Asian landscape painting, possibly on silk or fine paper, professionally framed and measuring approximately 5’3” wide by 34 inches high. The composition features a classically serene mountain and river scene with a fisherman in a boat, distant huts, and mist-covered peaks—iconography commonly found in Chinese literati or Japanese Nanga school painting traditions. The painting’s vertical creases indicate it may have originally belonged to a folding screen or hanging scroll. The brushwork is fluid and atmospheric, emphasizing verticality, void space, and traditional monochrome tonality with sparse color accents. The signature shown in the secondary image could assist in identifying the artist if translated or matched to known painters.
Without attribution or seal recognition, this work likely dates to the late 19th or early 20th century and represents a decorative or semi-scholarly piece rooted in literati aesthetics.
