Details
This is a folding screen made of ink paintings, which is a rare style for paintings of books and objects. The ten-fold folding screen depicts books piled in layers; pieces of wooden furniture such as a medicine chest, inkstone table, and writing table; and various objects such as potted plants, ceramic wares, stationery, fish tank, and bird cage in an elaborate manner. This work is filled with diverse designs on the book covers, sides of the furniture, and the ceramic wares, and interspersed with landscape and plum-flower paintings in places, leading viewers to appreciate the unique classical grace in which ornamental and literati tastes coexist.
