This work, dated 1694 and attributed to the Qing-dynasty painter Shen Yongling, pairs a squirrel with a heavy cluster of grapes, a combination traditionally read in Chinese painting as a wish for abundant descendants, since both squirrels and grapevines produce prolifically. It reflects the meticulous, naturalistic style of Qing-dynasty bird-and-flower and animal painting. The work is held in the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

I ordered this for a specific spot and it only half works there. It sits fine in the dining room and does not pull the space together the way I hoped. The subject is great and the execution is average.
Thank you for a fair review. We are working on the delivery estimates so they match what actually happens.
I have bought three of these now for different rooms. The detail in squirrel grapes holds up with my face inches away.
It came packed so well that opening it took ten minutes.
My husband spotted this months ago and I finally gave in. The shading in squirrel grapes has a depth I never noticed in books. Thank you for making something this good.
I've had it in place for two weeks and I notice it every time I walk past. I have wanted a good version of squirrel grapes for a long time and this is very close. The color match is close enough that nobody would question it. There was a note in the box that made it feel like a person packed it. Very happy with the purchase.
