Mu Dan Peony Chinese Painting Print – Purple-Red Round Album Leaf

There’s patience in every stroke of this Purple-Red Round Album Leaf — you can feel the painter slowing down, and a worthy Chinese art print for framing. Expect a flat, unmounted sheet — the huaxin print, and nothing but the print. This is workshop-of-the-masters territory: the manner is classical, the hand is skilled.

You get purple-red in the foreground, round album leaf behind it, and colorful gongbi tying them together — a fine Asian wall decor. Fine gongbi brushwork sits under the color — every petal and feather drawn before it was painted, the kind of classical Chinese wall art worth framing well. The album-leaf format keeps the scene intimate — a painting for close looking. The overall effect is calm without being sleepy; composed without being stiff.

Hang it where conversations happen; it gives people something worth discussing — a Chinese flower and bird print with real substance. Hang it in the dining room; good art is good company.
