Japanese Two Panel Screen: Persimmon on Gold Silk
-
Description
Dating to circa 1880, this elegant two-panel screen depicts a persimmon tree laden with ripening fruit rising above a field of wild grasses. Executed in mineral pigments on gilded silk, the composition balances delicate botanical detail with expansive areas of luminous gold, creating a quiet sense of space and seasonal harmony. In Japanese art, the persimmon has long been admired as a symbol of abundance, longevity, and the arrival of autumn, making it a subject that is both poetic and deeply rooted in the natural landscape. Bearing a seal reading Saigetsu, the screen exemplifies the refined elegance and understated beauty that characterized Japanese decorative painting during the late nineteenth century.
