Japanese artist Shibata Zeshin was 71 years old when he signed this lacquer painting of Chinese mountains. Historically, lacquer was used mostly on decorative objects, but Zeshin found a way to use the sticky sap like an oil paint.⠀
.⠀
‘It’s easy to overlook how difficult this was to achieve,’ says Takaaki Murakami, our Head of Sale for Japanese and Korean Art in New York.⠀
.⠀
‘Zeshin’s technical dexterity is remarkable. This work is quite small, but it is filled with incredible detail. It is unquestionably one of his finest lacquer paintings.’⠀
.⠀
Shibata Zeshin (1807–1891), ‘The Narrow Road to Shu’, 1877. 20 x 15 in (51 x 38 cm). Estimate: $30,000–40,000.⠀
