Indian ink painting of a nobleman in a wheeled palanquin, anonymous, probably Korea, 19th century Ink (sumi e) on paper, decorated with a lively scene of a figure on horseback in the foreground, pointing his finger towards foaming waters, while a nobleman sticks his head out of his horse-drawn wheeled palanquin to observe what his escort is showing him. At the rear of the palanquin, scrolls of paintings, books and luggage are piled up. Inside the vehicle, an imposing travelling seat can be seen. No signature or seal. Framed under glass. Sight size: 69 x 31 cm Unfortunately, there are few clues in this painting to reveal its geographic origin, let alone its author. The costumes, and especially the knotted trimmings adorning the palanquin, would suggest a Korean origin. Indeed, these garlands of thread decorated with sophisticated knots are particularly common on palanquins of Korean origin.
