Cataloguer’s note

Written by Sellingantiques from the dealer’s photographs and listing
  • Period19th century

This nineteenth-century Chinese hanging scroll painting depicts Guan Yu, the God of War, seated upon a throne accompanied by two attendants, with his prominent Green Dragon Crescent Blade positioned behind him. Rendered in ink and colour on paper, the artwork presents muted earth tones, pale flesh pigments, and dark bearded features, set against a light background with vertical calligraphic inscriptions in the upper left corner and visible foxing and discolouration demonstrating age. The hanging scroll measures 198 cm by 83.5 cm in total. Such a piece finds its place in a home today as a striking wall display in a study, library, or living room, suspended from a wall anchor to anchor an oriental-themed interior or to introduce historical iconography into a traditional domestic space.
