Edo period (1615-1868), mid-19th century
Two Figures in a Snowy Landscape
Kakejiku (hanging scroll), ink, slight colour, and gofun (powdered calcified shell) on silk in silk brocade mounts: A scholar and attendant, the senior figure (possibly intended for the plum-blossom-loving scholar, poet, and statesman Sugawara no Michizane going into exile) walking in geta (tall wooden clogs) using a stick, the attendant holding his straw hat and a branch of flowering plum, a mountain retreat and crags in the background, snow falling; signed Chikuzen no suke Gantai and sealed Gantai and Kunchin; with a modern wood storage box and a cardboard slipcase
Overall: 181 × 48cm (71 1/4 × 18 7/8in); image: 102 × 35cm (40 1/8 × 13 3/4in) (2).

Footnotes

Like Kishi Renzan (Lot 58) a son of Kishi Ganku, Gantai trained in his father's studio and was awarded an imperial court rank. Father and son collaborated in official commissions, but Gantai later developed a softer, more impressionistic style as seen both here and in the following Lot.
