They were painted in the 17th century by an anonymous ‘Kano’ artist – a family-based school of artists which dominated Japanese painting from the 16th to 19th centuries, and who catered primarily for military Shogun and high-ranking Samurai. A preoccupation of the warrior-elite, the fine horses shown here in their immaculate stables suggest that the screens were painted for a Samurai, and served to emphasise his power and wealth 🐎 - If you have an artwork you’d like to have evaluated, you can find a link to the Online Estimate Platform in our bio! #SothebysValuations #SothebysJapanese #HorsesofInstagram」5月4日 19時43分
