Mid 20th century vintage four panel folding screen / room divider / wall art featuring a printed scene with hand painted color depicting a banquet honoring Guo Zi Yi (697–781), a famed general of China’s Tang dynasty (618–907). In addition to his individual achievements, he lived until he was 85 years old, and his children and family were also successful. Thus he became a paragon of Confucian loyalty and fortitude, and even deified in popular religion as a god of wealth and happiness. As such, images celebrating Guo Ziyi became popular in Joseon during the 19th century. He is depicted at a banquet in his honor, enjoying a dance performance surrounded by his large family, Geishas, musicians in a palatial residence with Pagodas, flowering trees, cranes, deer, and birds. Gwakbunyang-haengnakdo.
Provenance:
Estate of J. Frederic Gagel, owner of multiple Thoroughbred race horses that competed in the Narragansett Special and Kentucky Derby. Their family heritage was strongly intertwined with the military having officers in battles dating back to the American Revolution.
54” x 0.75” x 36” / Panel Width – 13” (Width x Depth x Height) less
