Hand-Painted 48" Oriental Wall Art Scroll - Scholar & Dragon With White Border

Celebrate the spirit of knowledge and learning with this wonderful scroll art hand-painted by skilled Asian artisans. This masterful painting depicts an ancient scholar, his calligraphy brush poised to begin writing as he receives divine insight. Above, a mighty dragon plunges through the turbulent ocean waves, symbolizing the scholar's inspiration. The delicate folds in the scholar's robe, the enlightened expression on his face, and the graceful swirls of the froth-capped waves are testaments to the artist's skill. The title of this piece and the artist's official family seal are rendered in flowing calligraphy on the left side of the painting. A border of white-on-white textured brocade paper lends depth and dimension with its swirling arabesque designs. Firmly secured to the bottom edge, a hand-carved roll bar of lacquered wood allows this scroll to lie flat against any vertical surface. A durable, silken ribbon attached to the top provides for convenient hanging and doubles as a tie when the painting is rolled up.
