This album leaf, painted in 1788 by the eccentric Qing-dynasty artist Min Zhen, belongs to his 'Album of Miscellaneous Subjects,' a set of twelve leaves made for his friend Dailili Shanren in exchange for a scholar's stone. The dragon, one of the most enduring motifs in Chinese art, traditionally symbolizes imperial power, protection, and good fortune, and Min Zhen renders it coiling energetically through billowing clouds in loose ink washes. Trained by the writer and porcelain-workshop superintendent Tang Yin, Min Zhen was known for a versatile, sometimes eccentric late style. The leaf is held in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

The quality here is well beyond what I paid for it. ✨
There are things I like here and a couple that bug me. It sits fine in the dining room and does not pull the space together the way I hoped. The listing description is accurate and a little generous. Somebody with lower expectations would be delighted.
For the price this lands well above where I expected it to. ⭐
I have already recommended this shop to three people. My daughter recognized dragon amid clouds from her art class and was thrilled. I would order this again tomorrow.
This is the best thing I have bought for the house all year. My daughter recognized dragon amid clouds from her art class and was thrilled. Don’t think twice, just order it.
