? ‘CHAIN OF GIBBONS WITH TEA KETTLE’

Japan, early Edo period (1615-1868). Ink on paper. Mounted on a silk brocade frame, set inside a vintage frame, behind glass. Depicting a charming scene with four monkeys dangling from a branch, their arms extended to form a chain, the last monkey holding a kettle, most certainly to fill it with water from below.

Inscriptions: Two seals, one in hyotan shape.

Provenance: French private collection.
Condition: Shows wear, traces of use, creasing, and light staining. Several tears and minor material loss with associated touch-ups. The frame with usual wear and traces of use.

Dimensions: Image size 86.5 x 24.7 cm, Size incl. frame 111 x 39 cm

A common theme in Zen paintings: monkeys trying to capture the moon’s reflection in water. The image derives from a Buddhist story in which five hundred monkeys hold on to each other’s tails and attempt to seize the reflection of a moon in a well; they fail when the branch from which they are hanging breaks. The monkeys stand for unenlightened people who cannot distinguish between reality and illusion. The present painting is a humorous variant of this classic subject.



13% VAT will be added to the hammer price additional to the buyer’s premium – only for buyers within the EU.
