Willow and Magpie is attributed to the Chan Buddhist monk-painter Fachang, known as Muqi, who was active in Hangzhou during the thirteenth century and became one of the most influential ink painters of the Southern Song dynasty. Working in a loose, atmospheric ink technique, Muqi combined close observation of the magpie's form with soft, blurred strokes suggesting mist and rain settling over the willow branches. His spontaneous, understated style, closely tied to Chan Buddhist practice, had a lasting influence on later Chinese and Japanese ink painting. The hanging scroll is held in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

I’m really pleased with this. The colors in willow magpie came through almost exactly as I hoped. I am glad I finally ordered it.
The reproduction quality is the best I have seen anywhere near this price. Don't think twice, just order it.
This is my fourth order from this shop and the standard has not slipped once. I bought this for willow magpie and got far more than I paid for. It makes the primary bedroom feel like somebody with taste lives here. Five stars without hesitation.
This made the whole team smile. Thank you for taking the time, and enjoy it.
The customer service here answered me on a Sunday. The detail in willow magpie holds up with my face inches away.
I bought this to fill an awkward corner and it did much more than that. The colors in willow magpie are richer than any version I found online. The value here is so good that I keep expecting to find the catch. The fringe on this pillow is neat and has stayed that way through two washes. It has handled the dry air in Denver better than most things we own.
