Set of Four Japanese Painted Paper Panels
hand-decorated with roses growing at the bases and bamboo in the background, accented with swallows and other birds, in contemporary wood frames.
each framed panel h. 72-3/4", w. 19"
Provenance: Estate of Carol Taylor Scherer, New Orleans, Louisiana.

Attractive decorative lot. The panels all with tobacco brown grounds exhibiting horizontal wrinkling, scattered faint stains, surface scuffs, varying tonal continuity and scratches (some touched up with silver)- all of this consistent with age. The lower floral groups are more of an ice blue with white than the images indicate; the assorted birds all delicately executed and vividly colored.
