Unlike the other two lots by Bunchō in this sale, this particular work uses a muted colour scheme to evoke the winter landscape, the red of the pavilion and the purple of the man’s cloak standing out against the blues and whites of the water and the snow. Bunchō was best known for his idealised Chinese landscapes, of which this is an excellent example.
Unable to travel outside of Japan under the Tokugawa shogunate, Bunchō travelled extensively throughout his homeland, painting from nature and studying imported Chinese works of art, the resulting combination clearly visible in this work.
This lot has been imported from outside the UK for sale and placed under the Temporary Admission (TA) regime. Import VAT is payable at 5% on the hammer price. Standard VAT at 20% will be added to the buyer’s premium. Buyers are invited to familiarise themselves with these rules prior to bidding.
