The peony has been a favorite theme of Chinese and Japanese artists throughout history, and features in many masterpieces. The beauty of the flower speaks for itself, and it is also rich in symbolism: good fortune and wealth, female beauty, and even male daring. Ransui continues the tradition with this statement of floral splendor: a large single white peony on a gold background.
The poise of the white yet slightly teal-tinged bloom, the ephemeral dancing leaves - in shades of black ink only - that surround it, and the elegant stem that bends away into the foreground - all on a majestic golden backdrop, enthroning this queen of all Eastern flowers.
Peony on Gold is one of Ransui's larger works. Buy it and give grace and a sense of luxury to that special wall or room.
Signed and sealed by the artist.
