Ghost on the windowpane

somewhere around zianshe

Posted on
painting of chinese landscape, in ancient manner, thoroughly detailed, by Samuel Rondiere a.k.a. Sam Elka

these chinese pictures were originally made on ten meters long paper rolls
disclosed to amuse a limited circle of guests

during a rainy afternoon at the pagoda circa 1450

or maybe while attending one of those never-ending dinners at the emperor’s court
when only sudden death was a decent excuse to leave

Somewhere around zianshe
38×46, oil on canvas
