| Three waterfowl nestle among the leaves and flowers of large lotus plants in this traditional Korean painting by Hang San. Lotus paintings, called yonhwado, were displayed in Korean homes during summer months on the open wood verandah or on the walls of the gentlemen's quarters. This painting from the early 20th century has a feeling of serenity and softness owing to the placement and muted tones of the green leaves and a few rings of blue water on the fine silk. The scene includes three birds rather than the unusual pair, with the two in the foreground rendered in much greater detail. The work is signed and sealed by the artist on the lower left. The painting is in excellent condition, matted with silk and framed with a traditional rounded corner wood frame. Dimensions including frame: height 49" (125 cm), width 25" (64 cm). Dimensions of painting only: height 43" (109 cm), width 19" (48 cm). | |||||||||||
