Geese, Reeds, and Water, 1800s. Yamamoto Baiitsu (Japanese, 1783-1856). Pair of four-panel folding screens; ink, color, and cut gold foil on paper; overall: 169 x cm (66 9/16 x 138 in.). This by?bu composition differs from most in that it comprises two four-panel screens, rather than two six-panel units. Since the current mounting is modern, it is impossible to determine whether its present configuration represents its original design. Some panels may have been removed to help the screens better fit into a modern interior space. Baiitsu worked almost exclusively in monochromatic ink ton

Baiitsu worked almost exclusively in monochromatic ink tones and favored classical Chinese painting themes.
