Tang Yin (1470-1524), 'Playing the Zither in the Garden', Ming Dynasty. Length: 99 cm (38.98 in); Width: 46 cm (18.11 in). This is a classic literati painting of landscape and figures by Tang Yin, depicting the elegant scene of listening to qin music. The composition is exquisitely arranged with towering fantastic rock, slanting plum branches and blooming plants. A scholar plays the qin beside a stone table adorned with censer and vase; another scholar sits on the ground listening intently, with a young attendant standing nearby. The figure drapery lines are elegant and fluid, facial expressions vivid and refined. Rocks are rendered in blue-and-green colour with texture strokes, the aged golden silk support lends a rich and subdued tone. The work conveys the serene literati mood of enjoying qin music in nature, fully embodying the elegant and refined style of the Wu School of painting. Original mounting, bearing numerous Qing imperial seals and clear provenance.
