Chinese Beauty Scroll Painting – Silk Wall Art – Willow Bridge

This wall scroll is for lovers of chinese beauty: a classical Chinese beauty, painted in a relaxed classical style. It is the Chinese beauty that holds the eye first; everything else in the scroll plays supporting role. What makes it work are the particulars: peony, willow and bridge, painted with a light, sure touch.

As a Chinese beauty silk wall art, it sits comfortably alongside much older pieces without feeling like a copy. Beauties in classical painting embody grace, talent and quiet virtue, in the old visual language of Chinese painting. Stand back and the whole holds together; step close and peony rewards the visit. Painted on silk, the colors keep a muted, velvety depth that fits the scene. It is the sort of artwork that looks different each time you walk past it.

Choose a spot with a slow pace — the study, the tea corner, the hallway between rooms. If you keep a corner for reading or stillness, this scroll was made for it. It is a fine example of peony and willow Chinese painting, the kind of piece that grows on you.
