ANTIQUE JAPANESE BYŌBU SCREEN — BIJINGA BEAUTIES IN TRADITIONAL ELEGANCE - This exquisite 2-panel Japanese byōbu (folding screen) features two stunning bijinga paintings, celebrating the timeless grace and beauty of women in classical attire.

Delicate maple leaves bloom under a misty moonlit sky, creating a serene and poetic atmosphere. The gold leaf background adds a soft, radiant glow, enriching the refined composition. Right Panel: A noble lady adorned in an elaborate multi-layered kimono gazes affectionately at a young girl playing with a cat. Their garments are richly patterned with seasonal motifs, while the girl’s red fan and playful kitten add charm and movement to the serene setting. The gold-leaf framing, silken detail, and elegant brushwork make this byōbu not just a decorative item, but a collector’s treasure, ideal for interior display or traditional art enthusiasts. 180 by 177 cm.
