Couldn't load pickup availability
The qin, an ancient seven-stringed instrument associated with scholarly refinement, appears throughout Chinese painting as a symbol of cultivated withdrawal from worldly affairs. A figure playing the qin alone in a secluded valley, far from any audience, embodied the literati ideal that true artistic and moral cultivation needed no witness beyond the mountains themselves.

This is the rare purchase that looks better in person than online. The tones across Playing the Qin in are even and true right to the corners. The colors are richer and warmer than a screen can show. I will absolutely be ordering from here again.
For the price this lands well above where I expected it to. The subject of Playing the Qin in is what sold me, and it delivers. 🙂
Good value for something this size. The reproduction of Playing the Qin in is faithful enough that I would buy another. My only real gripe is the shipping charge on top of the price. It does everything I hoped it would.
It came in smaller than the space really wanted. The colors in Playing the Qin in are close to right and a little cool for my taste. I’m keeping it, though it was close.
This turned out better than the photos led me to expect. The detail in Playing the Qin in holds up from a couple of feet away. The packing was thorough enough that it could have been dropped and survived. 👌
