A blue-green pavilion landscape in the East Asian tradition, most likely Chinese, with a read of mid 20th century from the clean, vivid color and the frame package. Palace roofs and garden pavilions sit among layered hills in mineral blues and greens, a style with a long history in Chinese painting that makes this one feel at once formal and gentle. The frame is a 1960s to 1970s style, with a grasscloth mat and a honey-toned wood molding, glazed. At 19 by 22.5 inches it fits over a console, beside a bed or in a dining nook. Keep it out of direct sun, since mineral color holds best in steady light.
